The Martin Dance company participated in a wonderful experiential opportunity in September. Students had intensive workshops on subjects such as contemporary movement, ballet, and modern dance, as well as a culminating activity on African dance. Students experienced live musicians who accompanied themaster artists as they instructed the classes on technique, attitude, and
team-building exercises.
Martin GT Magnet Middle School offers all levels of dance in Choreography, Jazz, and Modern disciplines. Come dance with us at Martin-you'll grow in ways you never expected!
