There’s no better place to get physical than the Center’s Julianne and George Argyros Plaza. Dr. Jewel and African Soul International blend tradition, culture, history, and music with these fun and vigorous dance workouts.
Saturdays: February 20 and 27 from 11 am to noon.
Tickets: $10 per person and just 28 spaces are available.
Tuesday Night Dance Classes
Broadway’s Lauren Lim Jackson will teach iconic moves seen on the Great White Way in such hit shows as Chicago, Memphis, Motown, and Pretty Woman. Jackson, who hails from Orange County, credits include Finian’s Rainbow, Wonderland, Memphis, Motown the Music, and Pretty Woman the Musical (coming to the Center in the 2020-21 Broadway Season!). No experience necessary – the Argyros Plaza is strictly a no-judgment zone!
