| Master Class | ||
| The Master Class program is the most advanced technical study/choreographic course available within the Steffi Nossen School. The program offers our more serious students the unique opportunity to work and perform with dancers from communities throughout Westchester in an artistic and technical atmosphere. Dancers are introduced to a complete choreographic experience by participating in the creative process of bringing new pieces to life each year. Students enjoy the special opportunity to perform at our concerts March 19, 20, 21, 2009 at the Performing Arts Center, Purchase College. They are taught by a professional choreographer/teacher under the direction of our Artistic Director, Mary Rotella. Professional costume and lighting designers complete the performance experience. Master Class I and II dancers are required to be enrolled in two additional classes each week from Core Curriculum, Ballet, Jazz or Modern Technique offerings. While Junior Master Class dancers are only required to be enrolled in one additional class from the above offerings, dancers in the fifth grade and older are strongly encouraged to add a second additional class to enhance their technical and artistic abilities. Ballet is highly recommended. Participation in the Master Class program is by teacher recommendation and audition. The First class/audition will be held on Saturday, September 6, 2008.
