Intermediate/Advanced Open Modern with Heather Harrington | 11:45am – 1:00pm ✨This is modern dance rooted in its richest traditions and very much alive in the present moment. Heather’s class asks you to bring your whole self: your technique, your curiosity, your willingness to be surprised. Whether you trained in Graham, Humphrey, Limón, or simply love to move with depth and intention, you will find something here that resonates and challenges you in equal measure. This is the class that reminds you modern dance is not a style, it’s a way of thinking through the body.
