In addition to the dance masterclasses, and panel discussion, two awards will be presented at the event. We are honored to announce the introduction of the HB-DOD LEGACY AWARD and the HB-DOD RISING STAR AWARD. The LEGACY AWARD will be presented to Tony Award Nominee Desmond Richardson for his inspirational and extraordinary achievements in theatre and dance, both on and off the stage, and the RISING STAR AWARD  will be given to Broadway triple threat Zachary Downer, for embodying the spirit of the award's namesake. Each of these gentlemen epitomize the multi-disciplined mastery and artistic excellence Mr. Battle was known and recognized for throughout his career.

Classes are all FREE of charge and admission will be granted on a first-come, first-served basis upon sign-up. Each class will be rooted in techniques Mr. Battle studied, taught, choreographed and/or performed; highlighting our mission to celebrate, educate and honor Hinton Battle and his legacy.
