Back in 2019, we started zantherovalin with a simple belief – that contemporary dance shouldn't be locked away in exclusive studios or hidden behind intimidating barriers. Dance is conversation, and everyone deserves to join that dialogue. We've built a space where bodies speak freely, where movement becomes poetry, and where the only requirement is curiosity.
These aren't just pretty words on a website. They're the principles that shape every class, every interaction, every decision we make. They guide how we teach, how we learn, and how we grow together as a creative community.
We celebrate the stumbles, the breakthroughs, and everything in between. Last month, our student Minerva finally nailed a sequence she'd been working on for weeks – not because she performed it perfectly, but because she discovered something new about her own movement language in the process.
Every body tells a different story. We've designed our space and teaching methods to honor those differences. Whether you're returning to dance after years away or stepping into a studio for the first time at 50, your movement matters here.
We encourage the kind of risks that lead to artistic breakthroughs. Our advanced workshops in September will challenge dancers to create original pieces – not for competition, but for the joy of discovering what happens when technique meets imagination.
Our instructors aren't just technically skilled – they're students themselves, constantly exploring new ways to communicate through movement. We believe in teaching that adapts to the dancer, not the other way around.
I thought I was too old to start dancing at 42, but zantherovalin proved me completely wrong. The instructors meet you exactly where you are, and the community here celebrates every small victory along the way.
After training in more traditional studios, zantherovalin felt like coming home. The focus on personal expression rather than rigid technique has completely transformed how I approach movement.
We're committed to creating a space where artistic growth happens naturally, where questions are welcomed, and where your unique movement voice is honored and developed. This isn't just about learning steps – it's about discovering what your body wants to say.
