Summer Open Classes - Nevada Union Dance

NU Dance @ GVMCC

Join us for a single class or make the series part of your summer routine. Whether you are continuing your dance training, returning to ballet after time away, seeking a thoughtful conditioning practice, or simply looking for a meaningful way to move and connect, we welcome you to join us.

Open Ballet Technique & Pre-Pointe/Pointe Classes (Ages 13+)

Experience the challenge, beauty, and joy of classical ballet in a supportive and welcoming environment.

Our Open Ballet Classes offer authentic ballet training for dancers who wish to continue their practice, return to ballet after time away, or deepen their understanding of the art form. Classes are rooted in the principles of classical ballet and taught through an approach that supports healthy, sustainable technique.

Through ballet technique, musicality, artistry, and thoughtful movement training, dancers are encouraged to build strength, coordination, confidence, and grace while cultivating a deeper connection to the art of ballet.

Open Pilates Conditioning Class (Ages 9+)

Join our Summer Intensive students for their final conditioning class of the session with special guest teacher José Romero.

This all-levels class focuses on core strength, flexibility, balance, posture, and body awareness through Pilates mat exercises and functional movement patterns. Drawing on more than nine years of experience as a Pilates instructor, personal trainer, and wellness coach, José helps participants build strength, mobility, and confidence through mindful movement practices that support lifelong wellness.

Open to dancers and non-dancers alike, participants will leave feeling stronger, more aligned, and refreshed.
