Company A/B is a comprehensive class that welcomes dancers at varying levels—from those building foundational technique to those seeking a more conceptual, advanced approach. Through a blend of technical exercises and creative exploration, this class focuses on strengthening coordination, body awareness, and performance finesse while exposing dancers to a wide range of styles. This year, we’re excited to feature a UK-style club dance in collaboration with Upper School dancer and choreographer Eliza Feldman.
