TWDCC Adult Programs
Adult Classes are drop-in only and may be cancelled on short notice. Please call TWDCC at (831) 332-1398 to confirm a class is happening. Plan to arrive early to assure your spot, to fill out the TWDCC Waiver, and so your teacher can start their class on time.
TWDCC abides by the Santa Cruz County, City, Tannery Campus, and TWDCC COVID protocols, whichever is strictest. Masks are optional unless otherwise noted.
All adult teachers, staff, dancers, drummers, and participants are required to sign a waiver the first time they take a class.
Adult classes ask varying amounts for class. Please arrive with cash or be ready to pay via a digital app like Venmo, Paypal, Cashapp, or something similar.

Beginning Contemporary for Adults
with Molly Katzman
7PM – 8:15PM
Cost: $15 for one class, or $60 for 5 classes
This class is for the adult who has never danced, who hasn’t danced in years, who dances every day and can’t stop, won’t stop. This class is all about connecting to our bodies, our sensation, our joy of moving; you could never get it wrong since there is an endlessness of possibilities. We will also play with gravity and the weight of our bodies and practice releasing into momentum so we can fly, swing, swoop, surrender, yield, and fall. Let’s remember we have bodies who have an incredible capacity to feel and what it’s like to move together in person again.
