NEW: Actor's Movement Workshop
Beginning November 4th!
Why Actor's Movement Workshop?
Not a lot of actors understand the importance of honing one’s body as a creative instrument, and exploring body and spatial awareness, posture, and body confidence. This is not a dance class, but rather a class that uses movement as a vehicle to achieve the ability to express through one's body creatively. The class has evolved over the years, but has always centered on a doable curriculum implemented in step-by-step gradients which is then applied to the acting.
Testimonials from Past Participants
“Amazing! Lots of fun! There is so much more to draw from when you use your imagination and just let it go - and don’t judge or edit. This was a great class! Very beneficial for artists!”
— MT
“I gained confidence in my body to utilize it in my acting like the full instrument it is. The overall workshop opened up horizons of possibilities to create.”
— JB
“The emotional range work was enlightening and empowering! I also feel as a whole, this work boosted my confidence in my impulses.”
— BB
What's New with DBBC?
This past month, our Dance Basics Boot Camp had a BLAST learning the original choreography to “One” from the musical “A Chorus Line”. Keep your eye out for a fun video of this routine coming soon on social media!
Stretch and Strengthen Class
is still going STRONG!
Student Spotlight: Kathy Thomas
"Participating in Maria's Stretch and Strengthen Class on Monday and Friday mornings is a priority in my life and fitness right now.

Maria doesn't just let me go through the motions; she is very intent that I and the other students always have good form, a full stretch, proper posture, and use our core with every exercise. Maria really knows her stuff! Her routine hits all body parts for strength, flexibility, core and balance too. I'm rarely sore after the class, but I feel like I've gotten a challenging workout.

After participating in Maria's Stretch and Strengthen class for a month, I feel I have much greater and deeper body awareness. I love the camaraderie of the class that I experience even on Zoom. It is very evident that Maria cares."

“In this class, I feel I’m doing the best possible movements
for my body, mind, heart, and soul, and enjoying it!”
-Kathy Thomas
We’ve been hosting our Stretch + Strengthen classes twice a week since
the pandemic began, and we aren’t stopping! This class has produced incredible results for all participants. Join us and see for yourself! 
Looking Ahead
We’ve been running a well-received pilot workshop called Let’s Create since March. This workshop is a place for artists of all kinds to express themselves and create original work. Looking ahead, we will open this class up to the public and we can’t wait for you to join us!
Dance Master: Bill T. Jones
Still vibrant and far from the end of his career, Bill T. Jones’s legacy lives on in many modern choreographers. The combative, insightful, and transcendent way he brings prominent social issues to the forefront of his art has inspired many other choreographers to do so as well.
