The Playground NYC allows dancers to experience various choreographic styles and ideas, engage with a new community of dancers, and gather resourceful information and inspiration from the array of choreographers involved. In turn, established choreographers are paid for their creative investigations, are given free space to explore new movement with professional dancers, and are provided with the opportunity to establish relationships with new dancers and fellow choreographers.  

CLASS DESCRIPTION:
Mia’s class focuses on visceral contemporary style movement in the context of musical theater. Her movement and combos incorporate theatrical storytelling, contemporary technique, jazz dynamics, and improvisational choices, meant to break open the confines of traditional musical theater and encourage dancers of all backgrounds to explore their theatrical side.
