MODERN DANCE DESCRIPTION

Modern dance class emphasizes the integration of the entire body with the mind and breath. With a calm, yet focused approach, we will enliven our full movement potential, accentuating the importance of alignment and ease-fullness through our 3-dimensional body. Class begins on the floor, where we develop an awareness of the structure and coordination of the bones, as well as the softness in our joints. In the standing warm-ups, we start to articulate our torsos, feet, and legs. Traveling through space brings our attention to the big and subtle ways our bodies affect the environment. The class will conclude with an extended phrase that plays with varied movement qualities, focus, dynamics, rhythm, and energy. Contact us for rates and scheduling.
