Nationally Known Choreographer Coming to the Beck Center

She’ll only be here for a couple days, but acclaimed ballet instructor and choreographer Lou Fancher of the Berkeley Ballet Theater is coming to Lakewood. 

As a guest instructor for dance master classes and Ballet Camp at the , she will present two dance master classes for teens and adults on June 14 and 16.

The series is sponsored by the Dance Alliance of the Beck Center.

Master classes will include an Intermediate Ballet Technique course on Tuesday and a Contemporary Workshop on Thursday.

Classes are from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. in the Beck Music-Armory Building. The cost is $16 per class or $30 for the two-class series. Special discounted rates are available for Beck Center students.

In addition to the master classes, Fancher — a nationally recognized instructor, coach and choreographer currently on the faculty at Berkeley Ballet Theater — will also teach a Classical Ballet Camp at the Beck Center for students ages 11 to 16 years.

The weeklong camp, which runs June 13 through 17, is designed for intermediate ballet students interested in expanding their classical technique. The camp meets 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., Monday through Friday, and includes a daily two-hour technique class and a one-hour variations class. Tuition for the camp is $195 per student.

Those interested are encouraged to act fast — space is limited.
