Harvardwood Suggests... Non-Credit Community Dance Classes

WHEN
September 12, 2023 at 3:00pm - 6pm

The Dance Program is offering live, hybrid classes in the 2023-2024 academic year, with options for both in-person as well as virtual participation. Classes are in a broad range of movement styles and dance traditions and are designed for all levels and abilities. Taught by the Dance Program's exceptional teaching artists, many classes also feature live musical accompaniment. 

All Dance Program community classes are offered via a 10-week series, with drop-in options available for most. We encourage enrolling for the full series to experience the breadth, engagement, and community that each class offers. All participants must register online whether they enroll in the full series or drop-in. 

WHO CAN TAKE NON-CREDIT CLASSES?

Classes are open to the Harvard community, which includes Harvard students, faculty, staff, family affiliates, and alumni, as well as current MIT affiliates.

FALL 2023: SEPTEMBER 12-NOVEMBER 30

We will offer in-person classes with a live virtual option via Zoom for most classes.
