Explore World Dances with Illumination Learning Studio

In this class, the dancers will explore dances from different countries and cultures around the world. Specific countries and dances that we investigate will be figured out as a class based on the unique interests of the group. Some of the areas we may look into include African dance and its influence on America, differences in movement between Eastern and Western dance styles, and a timeline of European dance history to see the cause and effect of society/arts. 

Don't miss this opportunity to nurture your passion for dance and choreography.
