Class Descriptions

Contemporary/Contemporary Jazz

Class will start with a full and efficient warm up including a brief center barre, focused on grounding and centering the body, waking up the spine, finding proper alignment, working safely through full ranges of motion, and moving on and off the leg. Following the warm-up, dancers will explore a short phrase that works to find full-bodied movement, groundedness, musicality and self-expression, while in a safe and supportive environment that encourages dancers to take risks and make strong choices.

Jazz

Class will start with a full, energetic warm-up designed to find strong lines through the body, practice proper alignment and use of technique, and work through full ranges of motion. Warm-up will include a short center barre and standing leg work to get the dancer fully aligned and ready to move with confidence. Dancers will then move across the floor to further ground themselves and challenge depth of travel, weight transfer, change of direction, and jumps and turns technique. Lastly, a combination will be taught to explore technique, style and musicality, where dancers are encouraged to find joy, freedom and individualism in their performance.
