Garth Fagan Dance School
Garth Fagan Dance School [GFDS] provides weekly dance classes for children, teenagers and adults – taught by current and former members of Garth Fagan Dance, as well as additional instructors trained in Fagan Technique. GFDS has partnered with the City of Rochester, Urban League of Rochester and Rochester Health Association, among others, to bring dancers into urban recreation centers and city schools to promote a ‘healthy lifestyles’ initiative. Students studying Fagan Technique not only learn from and interact with dancers at the top of their profession, but also gain lifelong values of self-esteem, confidence, respect, self-discipline, responsibility and leadership.
