Dance Place Virtual Classes

Dance Place Virtual Classes

Founded in 1980, Dance Place builds a community of artists, audiences and students through high quality performances, commissions, training and educational programs. We are committed to enriching the field of dance locally, nationally and internationally. Our thriving arts campus serves as an anchor in our Brookland / Edgewood neighborhood in Washington, DC.

Dance Presenter
Dance Place offers a year-round weekend dance performing series highlighting diverse artists in a variety of dance genres such as modern dance, African Dance, tap dance, performance art, hip-hop and spoken word. Our series supports companies in Washington, DC as well as throughout the United States and abroad.

Dance School
Dance Place’s school offers dance classes for adults in modern dance, African dance, hip-hop dance and other dance forms as well as dance classes for youth in creative movement, tumbling, tap dance, ballet and hip-hop. Dance Place offers work / study and internship programs that offer aspiring dancers an opportunity to take dance classes for free. Our Internship program trains the next generation of arts administrators, teachers, theater technicians and leaders while providing free dance instruction and housing.

Programs for Kids and Schools
Dance Place offers family-friendly performances, workshops, classes, school assembly programs and school performances at Dance Place and off-site in schools for kids, students, families and community organizations. The Energizers Afterschool Club, Energizers Junior Staff program and Energizers Creative Arts Camp are model programs utilizing creative education through the arts for positive self-development in youth living in urban communities.

Community Anchor
Dance Place has a commitment to serving the rich cultural diversity of our nation, city and immediate neighborhood through a wide variety of affordable and free programs. Our Art on 8th free outdoor programming provides performances, workshops and recreation throughout Brookland / Edgewood and at our 8th St Arts Park. Our work in creative placemaking has gained national attention and recognition. Dance Place works collaboratively with other non-profits, local businesses, artists and civic associations to assist in Brookland / Edgewood’s continued revitalization.

*All adult classes between June 3rd and June 6th are cancelled in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement.

Foot in the Door
Drop-in to our new Foot in the Door classes! This Winter/Spring, classes will be held on Thursdays at 7:15pm at Dance Place.

This series of mixed-level adult classes will be led by three up-and-coming guest artists in the DMV, each offering three consecutive weeks of class. We’re delighted to introduce our community to a broader range of local artists, as well as give those artists the opportunity to get a foot in the door (get it!?) as a teacher in the DC dance scene.

This Winter/Spring, our Foot in the Door teachers are Dylan Lambert, Jamison Curcio & Sarah Foucher, Amber Chabus, and Patricia “Patty” Mullaney-Loss. Each teacher will lead four weeks of class starting on Thursday, February 3rd. Learn more about the teachers and their classes below.
