Master Classes

Industry master class with choreographer Zack Hudson. A rare chance for our dancers to take class with a working pro right here at DXNY. One class, one level — come ready to push yourself and pick up something new.

Josh's class draws influences from many different styles and genres of dance, training dancers to develop versatility, control, storytelling, and athleticism. Class begins with a thorough technique-based warm-up working toward strength, flexibility, and core connection. Dancers then learn a combination focused on musicality, artistry, and personal style — all in a welcoming, positive environment that prepares each dancer for a career in the dance and theater industry.
