Thank you to the Norman Rockwell Museum

We would like to thank the Norman Rockwell Museum for partnering with us for our Berkshire Pulse Intensive. Our dancers had the opportunity to spend two days at the museum, learning about the life and artwork of Norman Rockwell and creating choreography. The visit culminated with our students sharing three pieces they choreographed, each of which were inspired by a different Rockwell painting. Thank you especially to Kathryn Potts for helping us organize and Tara Johnston for providing an amazing tour. We loved being inspired by the art of Rockwell!
