Lydia Johnson Dance
Winter/Spring Classes
Burgdorff Center for the Performing Arts
10 Durand Road
Lydia Johnson Dance will continue to offer Contemporary and Hip Hop classes at the Burgdorff Center in Maplewood Village again this winter/spring 2011! Registration is now open and many classes allow for ongoing registration.Lydia Johnson Dance (LJD) teaches a unique blend of Dance Technique and Choreography. No prior dance training is necessary. Unlike most other dance programs LJD believes that technique is best learned as children use their creative energy to compose their own dance works. In discovering the power of different movements and vocabularies, students become motivated to increase their technical range. The works presented at the end of each class series are totally choreographed by students using the compositional techniques that have been worked on throughout the semester.
