Jacob's Pillow Dance Classes
"My fellow dancers are all outstanding; having them in class pushes me to challenge myself. That we all share opinions and ideas creates a supportive environment where I feel comfortable to share myself fully and to take risks-both very important to grow as an artist."
- Kati Nybakken, Cultural Traditions: Flamenco Program

Pillow offers three types of movement classes for the visitor. Each Sunday during the Festival season, a Master Dance Class is offered by artists performing in the Doris Duke Theatre. Each weekday, a Morning Jumpstart class is offered in Pilates, Ballet, Contemporary, or Yoga. And seven Thursdays in July and August, a Dance Together at the Pillow inter-generational class is offered for children of all ages accompanied by a parent, grandparent, or other adult. Each type of class is open to the public, though with certain restrictions. Click here to see a full listing of dance classes offered to the community.
