What is the Fagan Technique?

Fagan Technique is the teaching method of Garth Fagan Dance. A Black dance vocabulary created by company founder and artistic director Garth Fagan. Since 1970, the vocabulary developed hand-in-hand with the growth of Garth’s choreographic expression. Fagan Technique blends African traditions, the speed and precision of ballet, Caribbean stories and Black gestures; positions, timing, and Afro-Fagan sequences recognized as uniquely Fagan movement signatures. Fagan Technique™ has moved more than a 100 million audience members to universal acceptance through Disney’s The Lion King on Broadway, and Recently Garth Fagan Dance was received into the “Archives of the Library of Congress'', as a 20th Century dance treasure and rule breaking experimentation of postmodern accomplishment.

Children's Classes

We invite children and youth of all ages to step into the Garth Fagan Dance studios!  Our youngest dancers explore rhythm and match body movements to the beat through group dance.  School-aged dancers begin a progressive study of the Fagan Technique, learning its vocabulary and developing the strength and coordination to execute the movement sequences.  Classes are taught by our professional company dancers who use dance training to teach discipline, work ethic and creative expression.
