    Event description

    Join us with Renee and the crew in a night of Modern Dance.

    Dancing to 80’s and 90’s music, students will participate in an hour-long dance class which occurs at a brewery. Participants of legal age are invited to purchase a brew and take their place at the bar. The class will then concentrate on anatomical position, movement therapy, and beginning to intermediate dance training.

    Beer and Ballet is known for its community outreach and positive spirit. There is always an “After Class Hangout” where participants are invited to stay at the brewery to meet new people, talk about class, chat about the brews they are enjoying, and experience a new community.

    Please note: Tickets before the date of the event are $15. Tickets purchased day of the event are $18. We highly suggest grabbing your spot early. There are no refunds 48 hours before the event.
