CDB Enrichment Programs

Cora Dance’s Local Enrichment Program Partnerships offer dance-based programs to a broader population in locations throughout the Red Hook community. Bringing dance to schools, community centers, and public spaces, Cora partners with other organizations to expose all ages to arts enrichment offerings and connect those demonstrating talent, interest, and desire for more serious study with Cora’s Training Programs. Cora has offered ongoing programs throughout Red Hook at PAVE Academy Charter School, PS676, PS15, the Miccio Community Center, South Brooklyn Community HS, and the Red Hook Senior Center and frequently brings open community classes to festivals, celebrations, and community events year-round! 

Red Hook Senior Center (Ages 60+)
Adults ages 60+ (regardless of being a member of the Senior Center or not) can now register for Gentle Modern and Yoga with Nikki Assanti at the Red Hook Senior Center (120 W 9th St, Brooklyn, NY 11231) on Wednesdays at 2-3pm. Class focuses on mobility, mindfulness, and connection. Seniors work together weekly and take part in special collaborative projects and performances with CDB Cora Youth Company, PS15 Kindergarten, among other groups and projects. Classes begin on Wednesday, January 7 and run until Wednesday, May 20.

Cora Community Company (Ages 11+)
The Cora Community Company is a new 14-week, all-ages ensemble for participants ages 11+ to create and perform together under Nikki Assanti’s direction, culminating in the opportunity to perform as part of a formal year-end concert, EXTEND: CDB Companies in Concert at PAVE Academy in April!
