Technical Practice for the Adventurous Dancer.

Contemporary Technique. Take up space like a tiger. Move stealthily through a fierce, focused flow that wakes up awareness of your innate kinetic sensibilities. Attack and risk nuzzle up to graceful extension and freedom in the joints. Floor work and inversion is emphasized and connected to sound vertical alignment. Nosh on fat, beefy phrases, fill up on fierce expressivity and chew on ideas about creating a larger context for the joy of being in the body. Class is strongly influenced by Yoga, Release, Break dancing, Graham, Lewitzky, Contact and Improvisation. Classes can be held at the beginning, slow intermediate and advanced/professional levels.

Pop Up Choreo!

Jazz. Go ahead and take your 15 minutes of fame. Come to class with your silver sparkling glove and learn choreograpy from your favorite music videos. Easy to follow, full bodied warm up leads us into famous choreography, ranging from Michael and Janet Jackson, to Lady Gaga and Beyonce, to Britney and back. Feel supple, at ease and at home in your body as you take a trip down memory lane. Classes are accessible for all levels, options for modifying and embellishing are always given.

Crush/Groove.

Hip Hop. The revolution starts here. Forget about media stigmas, trends and body ideals. This class is for the hip at heart. Fall in love with body rocking beats that root out confidence and pleasure. Tap into the deep desires to get down, get heavy, get sweaty. Easy floor patterning, basic footwork, break dancing, body isolations and repetition create a platform for courage, coordination, interpretation, and strength. Classes are accessible for all levels, options for modifying and embellishing are always given.

Ballet For Bravehearts.

Ballet. This class focuses on anatomically sound technique and alignment driving us through a range of dynamic expression while working towards a strong, flexible and articulate body. Rhythm, musicality and fluency in Ballet vocabulary are used to access the joy of dancing. All genres of music are employed though you can expect Al Green, Ani DiFranco and Aesop Rock more frequently than Chopin. For the beginning, returning and brave.
