EveryBody Dances with Sally Hong
EveryBody Dances @ Yale Schwarzman Center brings local and visiting dance artists to our Dance Studio to teach masterclasses in jazz, hip hop, salsa, modern, contemporary, precision dance and more! All community members are welcome. This week's classes will be taught by Sally Hong. Both sessions will focus on Tony-nominated Broadway choreography by Bobby Longbottom, incorporating the use of traditional Chinese silk fans.
At 11am, the session is open to participants of all levels.
At 12:45, the second class is open to intermediate to advanced dancers to go further into the choreography.
