Vamos a bailar! Each week, this dance club will explore the distinctive rhythms and movement styles of Latin dances such as Salsa, Cha-Cha-Cha, Mambo, and Danzon. Maestro Serrano brings the rhythms of his native Cuba to the studio along with decades of international performing, teaching, and choreographic experience. Students will experience Latin dance not simply as a series of steps, but as a lively conversation between music, movement, culture, and community. Along the way, students will discover how music and dance reflect the rich traditions of Cuba and Latin America. Through upbeat combinations, rhythmic exercises, and group choreography, dancers will learn to recognize musical patterns, coordinate steps with the beat, and develop confidence moving to different tempos and styles. Emphasis will be placed on rhythm, coordination, musicality, posture, movement quality, and expressive performance. Students will also develop spatial awareness, memory, teamwork, and confidence as they learn and dance together. No previous dance experience is necessary. The club is designed to be welcoming and fun for beginners while giving students with prior dance experience opportunities to develop greater musicality and style.

Journey through dance to Andalusia in southern Spain in this contemporary ballet and choreography club inspired by Alchemy Ballet's original production, The Andalusian Nutcracker. Set in Granada at the magnificent Alhambra Palace, The Andalusian Nutcracker reimagines the familiar holiday ballet through an original story by Lorraine Spiegler. Young Maria receives a magical Andalusian Horse Nutcracker and embarks on an adventure into an enchanted world inspired by the history, stories, music, dance, and diverse cultures of southern Spain. Students will experience ballet not only as technique, but as a theatrical art form that brings together movement, music, character, culture, and storytelling. Throughout the semester, dancers will explore contemporary and classical ballet, original choreography, musicality, and ensemble work while discovering some of the Iberian, Flamenco, Moorish, Sephardic, and Mediterranean influences that have helped shape Andalusian culture. Dancers will learn original choreography created for Alchemy Ballet's Andalusian Nutcracker while developing coordination, artistry, musicality, spatial awareness, choreographic memory, and performance skills. Working collaboratively as an ensemble, students will also gain insight into how an original ballet develops from story and musical inspiration into choreography and theatrical performance.
