Advocacy Updates
Peer Class is back! Peer class is an exchange among dance artists in the ABQ dance community. Peer class provides a chance for dance artists to try new techniques or explore choreography among peers while offering the opportunity to meet other dancers and network simultaneously. Facilitators vary and are now paid, but the classes remain free to take. If you are interested in teaching, please contact info@abqdanceconnect.org. The link to register for class will appear on the peer class webpage when it is available the Monday before class.
For September we are excited to offer a peer led pop-up workshop led by Lara Segura.
