This winter, Portland Center Stage will be offering two dance classes from Portland’s very own dance sensation, Amy Palomino. Amy will be offering both musical theater and tap dance classes through PCS’s GreenHouse, a unique school of theater offering theater training and related studies for people at all degrees of involvement with the living stage. Space is limited, so reserve yours early.

Segment I: Musical Theater Dance
A fun environment where actors can brush up on their dancing styles. Learn a new combination in every class—each a different style from a different musical. Practice picking up choreography, learning the nuances of each dance style, and singing while you dance! In addition to the dance combinations, there will be a short warm-up at the top of each class to stretch and tone and the opportunity to practice various steps and techniques across the floor.
Course dates: Mondays, Jan. 5 through Jan. 26, 6:30pm to 8:00pm
Tuition: $100

Segment II: Tap
A class for adult tappers who are dying to pull out and dust off the tap shoes and brush up their skills. Mostly geared toward advanced beginners and intermediate tappers, this class will include a warm-up, chances to practice steps across the floor, and tap combinations at the end of each class to learn and perform for the group.
Course dates: Mondays, Jan. 5 through Jan. 26, 8:00pm to 9:30pm
Tuition: $100
