Synapse Arts’ Fall session of classes run from Thurs, Oct 1st to Friday, Nov 20th. 

 

Join us for a virtual fall session of classes! Though we cannot hold in-person classes at our normal Park District locations, we encourage students from Loyola Park, Berger Park and beyond to continue taking classes with us, online. The wonderful Ms. Katie will return as our teacher for beginning and intermediate ballet, and we are excited to have Synapse collaborator Tim Tsang teaching our first ever hip hop class.

We look forward to connecting with old friends and new faces this fall, keeping the joy of dance alive in our community. Join us for dance class and find out more about Synapse at www.synapsearts.com.
