Spring Master Class-2014

We are so very pleased by the Contemporary Master Class we hosted for dancers and members of TFDE this spring! Ms. Bowman was an incredible teacher and the girls worked so very hard. After an intense warmup infused with words of wisdom, the girls worked on a beautiful contemporary combination, and closed with a structured improvisation session. All of the attendees were from RRISD and ranged from 9-12 grade and representing 3 dance programs. They left excited, tired, and inspired! A huge thank you to our host Meghan Bowman for the wonderful class and use of your studio! We look forward to the next TFDE Event!!
