Laurel was the best! She is so kind and loves working with any student, no matter their artistic skill. All the work was super fun and a great addition to my schedule. Students sometimes come in a little uncomfortable and stiff during her exercises, but it quickly becomes a no-judgment zone as the course goes on and everyone gets more comfortable with each other. I would definitely recommend a class with Laurel!

Took this for my theatre major with Laurel Jenkins (because I want to explore the dance dept a little). As you might guess, it's a very active, participatory class. I feel like the course material is a bit basic if you've taken other "creative-exploratory" classes (ex. Acting 1, Directing 1). Laurel is nice and gentle and accommodating - she will like you if you put the work in.

This class is very enjoyable and makes you step out of your comfort zone a lot. I found that the classes were a good way to tap into my creative self and have fun doing movement projects. Olga is extremely enthusiastic about what she does, and it impacts how the class works together.
