Public Dance Classes and Visits
"My fellow dancers are all outstanding; having them in class pushes me to challenge myself. That we all share opinions and ideas creates a supportive environment where I feel comfortable to share myself fully and to take risks-both very important to grow as an artist."
- Kati Nybakken, Cultural Traditions: Flamenco Program
