  • Modern Movers Level I | Ages 7-9 | Wednesday 5:05-6:05 PM

    Modern Movers is Basin Arts’ signature youth dance curriculum teaching modern dance techniques along with age-appropriate improvisation and dance composition skill building. Dance history and real world contemporary dance dialogues are interwoven into each class to provide learning that feels educational, contextual, and inspires each student to seek out more information about dance overall.  Our Level One Modern Movers class at Basin Arts is geared towards young dancers that are curious movers seeking a class to learn the form, function, and empowering freedom of expression that only modern dance can provide! If you’ve been looking for a class that teaches your child how to move big, gain confidence, and create their own dances, this is IT.
