Who we are.
What we offer.
What it costs.
Common Ground is a membership-based studio.
This means that with the exception of our Saturday Series class, we don't offer the option to drop-in.
Why?
We believe that the core power of dance lies in community.
Membership allows our members to know each other, for us to know them, and gives us to create tons of opportunities
We personally get to know all of our members before they join, curating a warm, challenging space for all dancers.

All levels and drop-ins are welcome in our Saturday Series
Each month we feature a new guest teacher Saturdays at 10am.
From Tap to Contemporary Floor Work to House, these classes were designed to keep the learning fresh and are welcome to non-members and dancers of all levels.
