The University Musical Society Presents UMS Night School and You Can Dance Sessions This Winter

For some, dance can seem like a mystery. For others, dance unlocks sights, sounds, ideas, and emotions unlike any other art form.

UMS Night School: Curious About Dance

Mondays, 7 - 8:30 pm at U-M Alumni Center (200 Fletcher St., Ann Arbor)
Class runs every Monday from February 2 - March 16, 2015.
No class on Monday, March 2.

How do you experience dance? On the heels of last season's popular Bodies in Motion series, this winter's edition of Night School continues to explore dance. We invite both newcomers and aficionados alike to increase your knowledge about dance and meet others who share an interest in the art form.

• 90-minute classes combine conversation, interactive exercises, and lecture
• Hosted by Clare Croft, assistant professor of dance at the University of Michigan
• Drop in to just one session, or attend them all
• Events are free, and no pre-registration is required
• Special ticket discount to UMS Dance performances for attendees
