What is Tapestry Class Series?
Join us for Tapestry Class Series—a joyful celebration of global dance traditions right here in the Twin Cities! In partnership with local cultural groups, instructors, and dance organizations, Tapestry offers beginner-friendly class sessions (2–6 weeks) throughout the year that invite you to explore a wide variety of participatory dance styles from around the world.
What should I expect?
Whether you're stepping onto the dance floor for the first time or looking to broaden your movement vocabulary, these classes are a fun, welcoming way to learn, connect, and be inspired by the richness of other cultures. Each series highlights styles not typically found in our regular programming, giving you a fresh opportunity to move, grow, and dance in community.
What should I wear?
Come as you are - just bring your curiosity and energy! Comfortable, casual clothing and flexible shoes are recommended - clean soles, please!
