Artist Master Classes

Dance Place presents Artist Master Classes with local, national and international artists to Dance Place adults and youth. Artists are often from our Presentation series and will offer community classes and workshops in combination with their Dance Place performance weekend. Schedule varies and updates are made via the Dance Place website. 

Upcoming Classes: 

FREE Tap Master Class With Energizers Alumna Maud Arnold | Monday, February 2, 2026

Open/Play Community Movement Workshop With Mark Caserta | Saturday, February 7, 2026

We are thrilled to welcome back Mark Caserta of BIGKID DANCE, our second 25-26 Carla Perlo Fund recipient, for a bold, evening-length performance that blends contemporary dance with powerful theater. Premiering at Dance Place and set in a world facing collapse, If I Die Before the Revolution is a “fantastical farewell” that explores the deep emotions of the queer experience—from fear and loneliness to love and legacy.

Drawing a poignant line between today and the history of the AIDS crisis, the work tells a high-stakes story of fighting to be seen and celebrated, even when the world feels overwhelming. As a centerpiece of our season, it serves as a moving reminder to find “home” in one another and build community as our greatest act of resistance.

Step Inside the Process: To experience BIGKID’s research firsthand, join Artistic Director Mark Caserta for an Open/Play Community Movement Workshop open to all levels and experiences on Saturday, Feb 7 (1:00-2:30pm).
