DANCE AUDITION WORKSHOP SERIES: NEW!!! 
  • The audition room doesn't have to be intimidating, it can be where you shine.

  • Zohar's Audition Workshop Series is designed to give dancers the tools, confidence, and real-world experience needed to walk into any audition and stand out. Over three dynamic sessions, you'll train with three celebrated Bay Area choreographers, each bringing their own unique style and approach — giving you the versatile edge casting directors are looking for.
  • What You'll Gain: Work through accelerated choreography to sharpen your movement memory and quick-pick-up skills. Discover how to stay adaptable under pressure, apply corrections on the spot, and make every moment count on the floor. Each session culminates in a mock audition with personalized feedback — so you're not just practicing, you're preparing to be cast.
  • Meet Your Choreographers:

    • June 21st | 1:30 – 2:30 PM Adrienne Foley
    • June 27th | 1:30 – 2:30 PM Christine Baker
    • July 11th | 1:30 – 2:30 PM Lee Ann Payne

  • Experience the transformation that happens when you train for five consecutive days. Consistent, focused work accelerates growth in ways that weekly classes simply can't. Throughout this intensive, dancers gain a depper understanding of how their bodies function, how they individually process and retain movement, and how to integrate corrections quickly and effectively.

  • Times: MONDAY - WEDNESDAY, 10:30am - 5pm/ THURSDAY, 9:00 am - 4:00 pm/ FRIDAY, 10:30 am - 4:00pm

  • This is for adults and for highly motivated high school students. All levels of dance welcomed.

  • Dance Classes will consist of: Ballet, Jazz, Musical Theater Choreography, Tap, Luigi Technique, Contemporary, and Modern.

  • Link: https://zohardancecompany.org/summer-dance-intensive Because this is a workshop, we recommend you register via a laptop/desktop rather than a smartphone.

BALLET with CHARLES
  • Wednesday, June 24th - NO Floor barre. Instead, Ballet Class will begin at 10:00 am (Charles has to travel and is squeezing in class...thank you Charles).

MOVEMENT LAB SERIES by CLAIRE ALEXANDER SESSION (2 sessions left)

  • Zohar is thrilled to have Claire back to teach her movement workshop! 

  • Choreographer and Teaching Artist Claire Alexander returns to Zohar for a three-session series built around one idea: what happens when a room full of people makes something together in real time?

  • Each session is its own complete world. Come to one, come to all three. One can sign up for them separately.

  • Dates: Sundays - June 28, July 12

  • Time: 1:15p - 4:15p
