Studio G Friday Night Sessions

All levels: 8:00 pm to 10:00 pm
Cost: $3 (cash only)

This is not a class but a open practice session. It is often hard for local dancers to find a space where they can practice and spend time with other people who wish to hone their craft. Studio G provides a friendly spot where newcomers can meet local dancers and share skills. Music will feature various urban dance styles. On some nights, we will feature a DJ. Studio G is a resident group at DCDC. Newcomers to urban dance, we welcome you to visit and familiarize yourself with the styles and perhaps learn a technique or two while you are here!

Studio G recently performed at the tedXadamsmorgan conference shown here.

Broadway Tap Production with Kay Casstevens!

Currently teaching Broadway tap at DC Dance Collective, Kay has been dancing her way around Washington for many years. In 2009, she choreographed Gypsy for The Little Theatre of Alexandria and in 2008, she choreographed A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum for The Arlington Players. For her work in that show, she received a nomination for Outstanding Choreography from WATCH, the Washington Area Theatre Community Honors. In 2006 Kay won the WATCH award for her choreography in TAP's production of The Pirates of Penzance. She has also choreographed shows and numbers for Hexagon, The American Century Theater, the British Players Old Time Music Hall, and the Gotta Dance tap troupe.
