Weekend Classes

Aug 20 - Aug 21

Here you’ll find a wide sampling of the possibilities of rhythm from some of the finest beat-makers around. Choose from 16 classes, ninety minutes each, in a variety of styles and levels. All classes are held at Boston Percussive Dance/Green Street Studios, 185 Green St., Cambridge, MA

A note about levels:
Youth classes are for intermediate and advanced level students. The ages listed are just a guideline; the experience and ability of the student is more important in considering placement.
Youth II or Advanced? Youth II is geared toward the seriously advanced teen student and often includes high speed, high energy tap with flash steps. Advanced is aimed toward an adult understanding and appreciation of music, movement and arrangement with fewer (if any) flash steps.
