Looking for a class that's the perfect balance of fire and fun?! This new year, EMERGE125 is launching a monthly Masterclass Series led by internationally acclaimed dancer and choreographer, Tiffany Rea-Fisher. You can expect a high velocity, contemporary/modern dance class with an emphasis on physical technical ability. Join us for the first class on February 1, 2025 at the New York Center for Creativity and Dance at The Joyce Theater. Future Masterclasses will take place at multiple locations throughout the year. Be sure to sign up for our April event which will include a movement class, repertoire workshop, and professional talkback.

A graduate of SUNY Purchase, a student of Kevin Wynn (Complex Movement) and follower of the work of Virginia Johnson (Dance Theatre of Harlem), Rea-Fisher approaches the dance studio with over 25 years of pedagogy in her field. She describes her specialty style as "contemporary modern with an emphasis on high-level physical technical ability," which means you'll never be so excited to work this hard! ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ Rea-Fisher's works have been performed at the Joyce, the Apollo, New York City Center, Joe's Pub, the Guggenheim and New York Live Arts. Her recent accomplishments include a 2022 Dance Theatre of Harlem commission and choreographing The Public Theater’s 2023 The Tempest. One of her own dancers recently described Tiffany as having "the unique ability to cultivate a space where both rigor and joy are forever accessible." ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ A seven-time AUDELCO award nominee, National Dance Project Award winner, and Bessie's Award Selection Committee member, Rea-Fisher received a special citation on behalf of New York City for her cultural contributions. At this opening masterclass of 2025, you'll learn her teaching philosophy and participants will live the EMERGE125 experience in person. Don't miss this deep immersion in athleticism, technique and inimitable swag. Limited slots available now!
