OMDC Update

The latest from Omaha’s modern dance community

Same great class – great new location!

Omaha’s best value in dance training has just moved to a great new space!  Call Taffy at 402-551-7473 to confirm the class time.

OMDC’s weekly intermediate/advanced modern dance technique class now meets on Fridays from  6 to 7:30 pm at Robin Welch Dance Arts, 8801 F Street in Omaha.

Taught by Susan Dickson-Matsunami, the class wraps biomechanically sound technique in an exhilarating mix of movement inspirations that include Paul Taylor, Martha Graham, Jose Limon, and Lester Horton.

Susan, who has a master’s degree in dance from the University of Iowa as well as a master’s degree in physical therapy, was an adjunct faculty member at Creighton University and a widely respected independent choreographer. Her calm yet motivating teaching style makes this class a great way to re-awaken your inner dancer!

The class also is a great way to mix with others in Omaha’s modern dance community and to meet independent choreographers looking for dancers or dancers looking for places to perform. We’re a friendly and encouraging group, so come and give it a try!  The fee is only $12 per class, and drop-ins are always welcome!
