💥We are inviting applications for the second iteration of our Emerging Practice Cohort – a structured, community‑centered program for dance artists who want to cultivate their practice and develop a new teaching or creative facilitation practice.

💥Join a collective committed to training, growth and connection, designed for artists who want to train and teach.

This program is ideal for emerging artists who:
• Are looking for an opportunity to developing a new teaching voice, facilitation approach, or creative practice.
• Seek a structured program that fosters feedback, mentorship and experimentation.
• Are excited about regular training at The Fifth Dance with a subsidized class rate.

💥You might be fresh out of school, or an experienced dancer shifting into a new teaching direction. What matters is that you want to show up, try something new and evolve your practice!

Q***r Conscious Moving Bodies is back!
🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

This practice explores Q***r, Trans, and Gender expansive embodiment through curiosity, creativity, and community. Rooted in Dreamwalker Dance’s Conscious Bodies Practice (Andrea Nann, Artistic Director), we invite participants into a shared space of connection and resilience.

The approach is person- and community-centered, with a strong focus on collective exploration and co-creation. Participants leave with a deeper sense of the dancing artist within, and a strengthened relationship to their body and community. Produced in partnership with Dreamwalker Dance Company.
