Summer workshops
This summer, FDA is switching things up!
We willl be hosting one workshop a month instead of our regular class schedule to accommodate the busy travel season. Each workshop offers a focused experience to deepen your dance knowledge without committing to a full series- perfect for summers’ more flexible rhythm.
