Title : Est 1957

Class Description : Set to the iconic music of Patsy Cline, Est 1957 is a celebration of femininity, sisterhood, and the undeniable power of women coming together. Inspired by an era often romanticized as "golden" the work looks beyond the nostalgia to reclaim the female experience on its own terms.

With Cline's music as its heartbeat, the dancers create a world of female camaraderie, one that is playful, bold, and tender. Est 1957 honors the ways women have always found power in one another, transforming what may have been restrictive into something expansive: a celebration of who we are, together.
