Dance St. Louis Master Classes – 2007-2008 season
Dance St. Louis provides the opportunity for students and teachers of dance to take classes from directors, ballet masters, solo artists, and members of world-famous dance companies. This season, for the first time, we are offering master classes at the Touhill PAC at University of Mo.-St. Louis, as well as at Washington University. As a part of our new partnership, we are also offering two dance practicum classes at UMSL, one in conjunction with the tango residency in the fall and one in conjunction with the Alvin Ailey residency in the spring. These are being offered as both credit and non-credit courses on Tuesday and Thursday evenings at UMSL.
