IN-STUDIO WORKSHOPS
LEARN. CONNECT. CREATE. MOTIVATE.
Pushing Progress In-Studio Workshops offer a comprehensive introduction to the fundamentals of the Pushing Progress approach to dance. While Pushing Progress faculty consists of a diverse group of individuals who offer a wide range of experience in instruction and performance, all Pushing Progress instructors share a common belief that technique is a habit formed through concentrated practice and a constant pursuit to gain awareness. By teaching a basic understanding of anatomy and a technical approach to movement, Pushing Progress In-Studio Workshops will enhance a dancer’s ability to access the artist within.
