Love modern/contemporary, especially release technique and floorwork???
If you are an advanced dancer, in Dance 3 or PDC, or equivalent, this master class is a great option for your supplemental dance technique and can be used as dance make up. It can actually count for me as 2 dance participation make-ups because of the time.
It is open to professionals, educators, and pre-professionals (like the high school dancers on the Ririe-Woodbury Step Up Company, or the advanced modern/contemporary dancers at Lp). Only attend if you will work hard and take the class seriously, as it is an advanced level!
This would be something you would do on your own and is not a school sponsored activity.
Following is Quoted from Juan Carlos Claudio, professor of dance at U of U and RW Alumni:
This is a friendly reminder about:

Saturday Studio Series has become more affordable with a fuller, longer class for you. After a careful review of the previous seasons, and in conjunction with Ririe Woodbury's 50th anniversary season, we have revised our class format.Saturday Studio classes are held on the first Saturday of the month. The great news for you dancers is that our fee now is only $10, to take classes with the same amazing array of teachers!! The class will be one hour and forty-five minutes (10:00 to 11:45 a.m.), to allow enough time for a full blown modern technique class. These classes are truly valuable opportunities for local dance professionals to stay inspired and up-to-date!
