The latest masterclass by Rose Xinran follows a series of enriching experiences offered by the CCF. Previously CCF introduced (QACHS) and (KIHS) to a diverse range of dance forms, including ballet from the New York Dance Project from New York City, a Classical Indian Dance Masterclass, collaborations with Melinda Blomquist and the CCBC Dance Company. Also, CCF Teaching Artist Adrienne Kraus Latanishen taught her dynamic hip-hop masterclasses at QACHS and Centreville Middle School.
Our partnership/collaboration with Michael Bell, the Supervisor of Visual and Performing Arts for Queen Annes County Public Schools has been invaluable. The enthusiasm and participation from Kristen Tyler QACHS Dance Teacher and KIHS Amber Wright Dance Teacher have been exemplary and greatly appreciated by CCF!
The CCF is committed to its mission of nurturing young artists by fostering connections between mind, movement, and dance, thus supporting the development of artistic expression and creativity in students of all ages and levels. The CCF is extremely thankful for our enriching collaboration with Michael Bell and the Queen Annes county Public School System
