Adult classes

Ages 6+. The MCMA is so excited to offer an introductory experience of Indigenous Dance! Learn the basics and teachings of some familiar Indigenous Dances. This four week program is for EVERYONE, ages six & up. Our gifted instructor, Meg Olmstead, will not only show you the steps, but create space for understanding and teaching of why those steps exist. Children and adults are welcome to register and participate equally as this is intended as a community building program!

Ages 15+. Are you an intermediate and up winds player looking for small ensemble experience? Instructor Caue Pinto will lead you in a dynamic group experience exploring the history, theory, and practice of iconic Latin and Afro-Caribbean musical styles, specifically tailored for wind instruments. You will spend 14 weeks diving deep into Bossa Nova, Cumbia, Ska, Choro, Samba, Afrobeat and Forro genres. Goals are to understand roots and theoretical style while also feeling the groove in your body and developing ensemble skills, and hopefully making some friends along the way.
