Our weekly classes are taught by a rotating roster of excellent teachers in a range of different styles. These classes offer a judgment-free space to move and be moved in a supportive and fun environment. Whether you take class regularly or haven’t danced in decades, these classes offer a wonderful way to be in your body, have fun, and connect with your dancer-self. If you are in the Lincoln, RI area, you can come in person and participate at your own pace. If you are joining remotely and more comfortable with your camera off, we won’t judge! And if you can’t make the scheduled time, not to worry. Recordings of the classes will be available for you to use at your own convenience.

More about Julie Adams Strandberg:
Julie is the 2022 recipient of the LIfetime Achievement Award from the National Dance Education Organization; she received the Charles Sullivan Pell Award for Distinguished Service in the Arts on 2015; and in 2020, the Brown University faculty honored her with the Susan Colver Rosenberger Medal, given for “specially notable or beneficial achievement” and only awarded 33 times since it was established in 1919.
In 1969, Julie founded the dance program at Brown University, where she is a distinguished senior lecturer emerita, transforming it from a recreational activity to a full academic program with professional-level experiences. In 1971, she co-founded the Rhode Island Repertory Company, which presented concerts for general audiences and ones designed specifically for young audiences, as well as workshops, lecture demonstrations, and master classes, exposing many Rhode Islanders to modern dance for the first time. In 2002, the Company reconvened to explore what mature dancers have to offer. In 1973, she co-founded The Harlem Dance Foundation with her parents, Julius J. and Olive A. Adams and her sister, Carolyn Adams, to "nurture an endangered art form in an endangered community." In 2013, she co-founded Artists and Scientists as Partners (ASaP) to research the relationship between arts and healing and the specific role of dance and music for people with Parkinson’s Disease and those on the Autism Spectrum.
Julie has directed for college, community and professional theater; has designed programs for youth; and has created over 40 works for theatrical and alternative spaces. She has served on national boards and panels, including the National Endowment for the Arts and is the author of multiple published articles. She studied with 20th century dance pioneers Alvin Ailey, Martha Graham, Melissa Hayden, José Limón, Donald McKayle, and Charles Weidman and is one degree of separation from George Balanchine, Katharine Dunham, Lester Horton, Doris Humphrey, Pearl Primus, Ruth St. Denis, and Ted Shawn. Julie is a graduate of the Ethical Culture Fieldston Schools, has a bachelor of arts degree from Cornell University, a master’s in guidance from Bank Street College of Education, and a masters ad eundem from Brown University. Since 1965, she has been married to Josiah R. W. Strandberg, a computer programmer, who is a Captain, USNR (ret.) and holds a doctorate in philosophy. They have two daughters, Laura Carolyn and Marie Elisabeth, a son-in-law William Nels Porter, thanks to Marie, and grandsons, Andrew Kenneth and Jackson Josiah, thanks to Marie and William.
