Fontaine Dollas Dubus: Owner/Director The Dance Place is where adults can drop in all year round for a class in jazz, modern, ballet, zumba and ballroom. Our Luigi instructors learned from the master himself and have vast knowledge of its subtleties and style; Ballet instructors gently teach the proper alignment and intricacies of this classic discipline; Jazz teachers mix the best of modern, blues and funk into their choreography for a fresh dance experience. Our non-competitive, nurturing environment makes dancers of any level feel comfortable to express themselves. The same philosophy goes for our children’s classes. It’s about the creative process, the love of movement and artistic expression, while learning the fundamentals of dance in its various forms. Our Joppa Jazz Dance youth companies, Joppa Jr. (grades 4-6), Joppa Two, (grades 7-8), and Joppa Teen, (grades 9-12) have the additional opportunity to perform throughout the year, attend master classes, and mount their own pieces. Auditions for Joppa are held every June. |

Exit Dance Theatre Exit Dance Theatre was founded in 1987. Exit’s style is deeply rooted in theater techniques, improvisation and collaboration. One of Exit’s missions has always been to allow the movement to open up past traditional styles and find new ways to express stories told through dance. The company has danced to the tunes of Danny Harrington, Ronnie Earl, EJ Ouellette, The Gospel Unlimited Choir, and more. Exit performs on the North Shore and in Boston. Learn more>> |
