Express yourself through creative movement in a welcoming environment in downtown Frederick, Maryland.

Amanda has been embodying her emotions through Modern Dance (with lots of Graham and post-Modern inspiration) since she was a child, teaching on and off since 1997. Join her for a dance class custom-built for adults; we will focus on understanding our bodies, increasing our capacity for self-expression, and learning how to make movement interesting without relying on tricks, gimmicks, filters, or trends. Class is (re)introductory level, perfect for beginners and retired dancers who feel like beginners.
