FEBRUARY 2026 
CONNECTIVITY OF MOVEMENT w/Nancy Paradis
CONTEMPORARY BALLET  WORKSHOP

​Los Angeles-based director and choreographer Nancy Paradis brings her vast experience in neoclassical ballet technique this February in the Connectivity Of Movement workshop. This workshop features a solid ballet warm-up followed by some contemporary technique across the floor and excerpts of contemporary choreography from Nancy's immense repertoire. 

 

The passion, joy and lightheartedness Nancy generates in her teaching and choreography is so palpable that it is impossible not to have fun! Find the joy of dance and explore unique movement patterns that we don't normally get to explore in a purely classical ballet class. Explore movement in a safe place and let Nancy guide you on your journey towards versatility in dance and experience the bliss when dancing with a sense of abandon.
