FOR ADULTS
“I was surprised at how quickly i could learn movement, get it in my body, and be proud of the work I did. I think it gave me confidence in my abilities.”
Residency Student
Our kids and adult movement classes are rooted in a values approach. Our Teaching Artists discuss consent and offer accommodations and modifications judgment-free. Every student has autonomy. They can opt out of any photos or videos, and can take breaks when they need. There is no dress code. Students can wear whatever they feel is comfortable and safe, and are allowed to express their own individuality. We serve families, community members, and professional dancers year-round and periodically provide intensive study at other locations through workshops and residencies.
Current classes are taught at four locations: Loyola Park, Berger Park Cultural Center, Lincoln Park Cultural Center, and Clarendon Community Center Park, where Synapse Arts works as an Arts Partner in Residence with the Chicago Park District.
