at BALLETCENTER STUDIOS, 246 W WASHINGTON ST.

DISCO RIOT's Pop In/Pop Out series offers master classes to those in our community from trusted teaching artists to promote a culture of sharing, exploration, diversity, expanding perspectives, and building community. Class is a place of personal growth, community building, curiosity, skill-building, and play. We hope to expand our collective experiences by bringing in teaching artists that challenge what we're used to. We learn more from one another. We grow together. Join us!

Pop In/Pop Out classes are pay-what-you-can so that we can offer the highest quality experience for the community and for the master teacher. The sliding scale is between $10-20. No one is turned away for lack of funds. Please reach out to community@discoriot.org for assistance.
