Whether it be a solo, a duet, or a piece that involves the whole group, my choreography classes explore how a dance is made. Dance is not just technique, it is emotional physical expression for everyone. Participates will experience both roles - the choreographer and the dancer. No experience or training necessary, What ever is created will be the expression of the group culminating in a performance.

"Schroeder’s choreography is superb, never self-conscious but always original, even as she appropriates popular dance and ballet moves. Above all, she finds the narrative line in the choreography." 
- Backstage West

"Since 1998, movement maverick Jessica Schroeder has evolved a self-defined aesthetic in her own Outlaw Style Thrance Company. The iconoclastic collaborative discipline inverts, and reinvents traditional dance and acting techniques in whole-hearted, imaginative ways." - LA Times

I founded The Outlaw Style Thrance (theater and Dance) Company in 1987.  I choreographed and directed in the Boston area until 1997 and then re-formed my company in Los Angeles (www.thrance.info)
