CHOP SHOP: Bodies of Work is proud to partner with The City of Bellevue Parks and Community Services Department, Bellevue College, and Bellevue Arts Museum to offer the FREE Experience Dance Program! These free, fun, and no experience necessary dance classes serve as companion events to the CHOP SHOP dance festival, held February 15 & 16, 2020 at Meydenbauer Center Theatre. In addition to the fun of dancing with us, by participating in the Experience Dance Program you’ll receive a reduced price $5 ticket to the 2020 festival performance of your choice!
Two classes are offered as part of the program:
Reading Dance is your chance to engage directly with festival artists as they discuss the craft of choreography. Join dancers and choreographers as they demystify and reveal the creative process behind contemporary dances. Discover the type of movement language contemporary dance uses, learn different ways that dances are formed, and ask questions of the artists themselves. Reading Dance is open to all ages and abilities.
Introduction to Modern Dance is a fun dance technique class for those interested in learning basic modern dance movement vocabulary - no previous dance experience necessary! Teaching artists lead participants through a fun series of exercises that explore the type of movement presented at CHOP SHOP: Bodies of Work. Introduction to Modern Dance is open to all abilities and is recommended for all over the age of 8. Please dress in comfortable clothing.
6pm - 7pm: Reading Dance
7pm - 8pm: Introduction to Modern Dance
