Performances, Workshops, Educational Products and Recordings

November 4: Darshan teaches Fusion Intensity!
In this fun and exciting workshop, we break down lots of ready-to-use fusion combos, and
intersperse them amid strong stances and powerful movements, for a new level of dynamic,
and a fresh exploration of character. Healthy body mechanics and strong lines always
emphasized.

November 11-December 9: Gemini Project teaches Modern Flow
Come and dance as we learn Gemini Project technique and movement as well as gorgeous
flowing combinations and rhythmic movement sequences! This is a great way to integrate
new movement into your style of dance, as well as hone in on core technique. Both slow
and fast movement and sequences will be taught.
