Come out and support Hill and Veil! We have a lot of performance opportunities coming up this semester. Check out the Events page for more info.
We meet every Monday and Wednesday night from 8-10pm during the fall and spring semesters in War Memorial Gym, Multi-purpose room A.
Monday: Advanced level practice. We concentrate on teaching and practicing choreographies for upcoming shows.
Wednesday: 8-9pm Beginners level practice. We concentrate isolations and technique starting at the very basics for girls with no prior experience. Classes build on each other, so it is not advised to begin lessons in the middle of the semester. Lessons are free.
9-10pm Intermediate level practice. A continuation from beginners level practice. Focus shifts from beginners moves and choreographies to harder moves and choreographies.
