MAGMA is a center for movement practices where people of all ages can discover, develop, and create in a broad curriculum of movement styles.
MAGMA’s dance classes focus on the actively evolving forms of dance as art. With an understanding of the past, and an eye to the future, we nurture students in the highest standards of dance education.
MAGMA also offers classes in somatics, martial arts, strength and conditioning, social dance forms, and more.
In addition to offering classes and workshops, we are a performance venue for house-produced events and community events.
