Cultural Arts Classes

Dance classes

At the end of the year, dance students will perform at the Class Dance and Volunteer Honoring.

First- and second year dance class:  Students will focus on the basics of their dance styles. They will also learn about the different styles, songs, traditions, and meaning that go with them. 

Third- and fourth-year dance class: Students will focus on excelling in their dancing by studying more styles of dance as well as the work of other dances, and combining this with what they already know.

Regalia-making classes

This class is open to new and experienced regalia makers of all ages. We recommend that participants bring their own supplies, but we will help with what we can. Several sewing machines are available, but if you have your own, you are welcome to bring it with you.

Culture classes

These classes explore a different topic each month. Classes range from a field trip to the art museum to basket weaving and drum making. Classes are geared toward 4th to 8th grade students, but all youth are welcome!
