Tuition Rates:

  • Single Class $15 (Dance Council Member $12, Dance major at a college or university $10), four classes for $40
PLEASE NOTE:

Some of these classes have already "made" and some are "on hold" waiting for enough students to finalize registration in order for them to "make."

Tuition is pro-rated based on the start date for the class, or the date that a student enrolls in the CD/FW school and joins a particular class. Once you are enrolled in a class for the semester, you are expected to continue with that class for the remainder of the semester, unless there is some unforeseen accident or severe illness prohibiting your participation.

Group dance classes are only made possible through the shared commitment of everyone enrolled in the class. We welcome people to join our dancing community, and appreciate everyone's commitment to our school, and our vision to put the art of DANCE first.

The CD/FW School values:

  • The art form of dance, as a performing art, with an emphasis on modern dance and creative movement, and the infinite possibilities for human movement...
  • The creative process and self expression, with opportunities for students to explore and discover the world of dance and communication through movement from the inside out
  • Proper alignment, form, and function in training, to reinforce healthy neuromuscular patterns and practices within all styles and techniques
  • Collaboration, cooperation, and active participation -- students help to choreograph their own recital dances, and take "ownership" of the process every step of the way
  • Reasonable pricing and rock bottom recital costs... As part of our commitment to the community as a non-profit organization, tuition and fee pricing is kept as low as possible, and recital costs are kept to a bare minimum to make our classes more accessible to the community... (the majority of recital costumes are purchased at discount stores like Target, not only saving you money, but providing students with a costume which can be re-used in daily life rather than sitting in a closet...)

The CD/FW School is part of the non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that is Contemporary Dance/Fort Worth.
August 10-17 -- Bill Evans Teachers' Intensive in Port Townsend, WA
CD/FW executive/artistic director Kerry Kreiman will be on faculty during this special hands-on workshop in the pedagogy of dance technique. Read more at www.billevansdance.org
