Tuesday
Level II Horton-based Modern Dance - 6:30pm-8:00pm w/ Jenny Oliver
Class is a Horton based modern taught at a pace designed for the students in the room. Class begins with sequential and consistent warm-up, continues with center phrases that are designed to promote competence and growth of proper technique. Students are encouraged through proper corrections focused on alignment and detailed explanations of the initiation of movements. This is important in reducing injury to both new and seasoned dancers. Across the floor phrases are poly-rhythmic in progression, promoting a sharp mind and allowing the skill of acquiring information quickly and accurately to develop. A person does not need to have the goal of becoming a professional modern dancer.
$15 drop-in
Level II Information: This class will continue to expand the vocabulary built in Level I, continuing to learn the fortifications, preludes and studies of the technique. The pace is quicker, and dancers are pushed to apply poly-rhythmic concepts and phrases together using musicality and body articulation.
