Dance Classes
CCE’s newest facility has a 1,300 square foot dance studio where classes are offered in hip hop, modern, and salsa for all ages from beginners to advanced. There are four performance ensembles for qualified dancers: the Energizers (elementary school age), Jr Energy (middle school age), Energy for high school students, and Pure Energy for adults.
Drumming Classes
The drumming program features professional musicians who are also experienced teachers. Classes are offered to young and old alike with a focus on the rhythms of Africa and the African Diaspora. Gifted and dedicated students are invited to join POOK, the Percussion Orchestra of Kingston.
Electronic Music Classes
CCE recently inaugurated its computer music lab featuring Mac computers and the latest compositional software. Using their own words and ideas, students are encouraged to express themselves musically. Ongoing classes are offered for beginners and special weekend seminars are available for seasoned users.
Special support for staff and equipment provided by the New York State Music Fund through a grant from the Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors.
