Welcome

The mission of the Carole Cascio Fund is to introduce students of all ages and levels to connect mind and movement through dance, and to support developing artistry in young people through choreography and dance.

Movement, in its various forms was always central to Carole’s artistic and educational endeavors. In her words,

“As we experience our world through moving in it and dancing about it, we remind ourselves of the truth and knowledge that is stored, away from awareness. When a dance is performed and watched, both dancer and audience share another person’s awareness conveyed by a language that is universal and for which no words suffice.”

“Dance remains a rich and continuous medium for art making, as well as for intellectual personal revelation”

-Carole Cascio

Join us for a special one-day Paul Taylor Dance Intensive led by former Paul Taylor Dance Company members Amy Young Kleindorst and Robert Kleindorst. Dancers ages 14 and up will take a Paul Taylor technique class, learn repertory, and gain insight into the legacy and artistry of Paul Taylor’s work.

This full-day dance experience includes free classes for students and concludes with an Open Rehearsal and Q&A from 4pm to 5pm.

Participation is free, but registration is required for dancers.

Reserve your spot today and be part of this extraordinary day of dance.

The public is warmly invited to attend the Open Rehearsal and Q&A from 4pm to 5pm. Come watch the dancers share what they have learned and hear directly from the teaching artists during a live question and answer session.
