Register for Duncan Dance Classes

Fall and Winter/Spring: Word Dance Theater will offer a Fall and Winter/Spring session of in-person classes for Adults & youth at the Dance Exchange in Takoma Park, MD.

Registration is OPEN!
More information on Classes can be found here >>

Our classes offer study in the technique and philosophy of Isadora Duncan, the Mother of Modern Dance. Through improvisation and original repertoire, students study how the motions of water, wind, and trees inspire the natural movements of the human body while they learn to honor the dance within themselves and each other. This imaginative work supports the basic locomotor skills of skipping, leaping, and waltzing, and fosters individual and collective grace, honor, heroism, pride and freedom.
