Summer Drop-in Classes

For Intermediate and Advanced Students

Our Summer Drop-in Technique and Variation classes are taught by Molly Arbogast and Dee Dee Terzian. Dee Dee is the director of Tahoe Dance School and a Registered Teacher of the Royal Academy of Dance. Molly danced professionally with San Francisco Ballet and has taught widely in Lake Tahoe. She currently teaches in Reno. Molly has chosen the Four Cygnets Variation from Swan Lake Act II to share with you. The dance of the swans is a lively, fun and up tempo piece tinged with a hint of sadness. The original choreography was done by Marius Petipa.
