Contemporary dance requires you to bring the emotional life front & center, which is why it works so well combined with acting!
Come away with new dance moves, increased capacity for self-expression, and storytelling skills.
Focusing our work on Winnie The Pooh stories and characters broadens our storytelling and self-expression into the worlds of comedy & slapstick.
The emphasis is on skill development and creativity in a supportive, professional environment, culminating in an original, fully-staged, public performance of "Back To the 100-Acre-Wood": a winnie-the-pooh revue"- inspired by the stories of AA Milne.
The best loved stories and characters of all time from Winnie the Pooh and House at Pooh Corner are included.
Pooh, Piglet, Eeyore, Tigger, Kanga, Roo, Owl, Rabbit, Christopher Robin, and the Heffalump, among others!
The story will follow the adventures - and misadventures - of Pooh and the Gang as they try to evade baths, catch the heffalump and check on their friends!
Noted actor-singer-dancer-choreographer Taryn Noelle (winner of the 2017 Vermont Arts Councils Governor’s Excellence Award in Arts Education.) with Ballet Wolcott founder (and now LNT Assoc Managing Director) Brandy Perez will teach modern dance styles, physical improv, and theater games, with an emphasis on the shared skills and emotional availability required for theater & modern dance.
additional instructors/production team members: Kim Allen Bent, Kathleen Keenan, Samuel J Biondolillo, Todd Hanley,
plus special guest artists/teachers!
Go “page-to-stage” in just one week!

Extra challenging roles and dance available for more experienced students.
