Ever imagined working in the theater? Are you interested in architecture? Do you like building things? Did you know that a set designer works closely with a director to design and build the backdrop for a dance, theater, or spoken word performances?

Together they make a fresh and live dance class. If you like to dance and sweat, then this class is for you. (Or if you need P.E. credits at school!) The class will culminate in a performance at our final exhibition on March 26.
