Dance Residency with Joyce Edwards

Hochstein is excited to announce a special dance residency featuring acclaimed dancer, choreographer, and educator Joyce Edwards. All classes are rooted in the African diasporic movement and will culminate in phrase work that moves across the floor.

Each free class will build upon the last one and participants are encouraged to come to as many classes as possible. Use this link to register.

This program is supported in part by ArtsBloom funding from the City of Rochester, allowing Hochstein to establish Dance Connections – a comprehensive initiative that includes free weekly dance classes, professional masterclasses, and scholarships for students to attend dance camps.
