Dance is for a Small Space Workshop Series

Weekly schedule

About this program

Dance is for a Small Space is a free, community-engaged dance program that invites people of all ages and experience levels to explore movement, creativity, and collaboration. Through a series of interactive workshops held at Leigh Square, participants will learn the basics of choreography including developing themes, shaping movement, and working with rhythm and dynamics while building confidence in their own creative expression. The program culminates in an informal public performance on Tues. Aug 25 that celebrates the collective work created throughout the sessions. Designed to be inclusive and intergenerational, the program fosters meaningful connections among participants and encourages shared learning across diverse perspectives. Led by contemporary dance artist Sarah Kennedy, this initiative supports accessible arts participation and brings vibrant, community-driven creativity into public space. Additional program notes: As sessions take place outdoors, participants are encouraged to dress for the weather and bring water to stay comfortable and hydrated. Photography and videography may take place throughout the program to support promotion and documentation of the project.
