Contemporary Technique and Partnering. This is an all-levels contemporary technique class in which we will shed any and all serious dance personas and build an atmosphere of creative support and brave risk-taking in our dance. At its core, this is basic contemporary dance focusing on principles of momentum, suspension and release, and a three-dimensional relationship to space. Each class will progress from improvisation, stretching and strengthening sequences, partnering exercises, and sweeping movement phrases. We will connect to our intrinsic joy, play, musicality, and wild abandon.
This class builds on itself and is designed as a six-week series for all levels, but you are welcome to drop-in at any time. If you are an absolute beginner, you are encouraged to start at the beginning of the series.
