How have ballet and modern dance evolved over time? What is the role of contemporary ballet and dance in our current society? This engaging class will answer these questions and provide the insight necessary to have an enriching understanding of the work of Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, a company known for its exceptionally talented dancers and adventurous choreography.

UMS and Ann Arbor Public Schools Community Education & Recreation (“Rec & Ed”) are offering pre-performance classes created especially for first-time UMS attendees, curious audience members, or anyone who simply enjoys attending performances with a group.

Participants can register for the workshop along with a performance ticket, or for the workshop only. Class sessions will take place in the performance venue or at a nearby (walkable) location. (Sorry, no ticket exchanges or refunds for previously purchased tickets.)

To participate in UMS 101, you must register through the Rec & Ed website and pay the registration fee ($15 for workshop only, or $59 for workshop plus a ticket to the performance).
