• Classic Modern — Beg/Int •

Beginning/intermediate classic modern dance is an introduction to the fundamentals of modern technique. The class will focus on the basic principles of alignment, center strengthening, balance, and flexibility. The center warm-up will be a starting point for the development of these ideas using contractions, swing, balance, and fall/rebound. Basic progressions across the floor will also incorporate these principles as well as encourage more freedom of movement. The center combinations will involve use of the breath and use of the body to create weight and movement.

• Classic Modern — Int/Adv •

Intermediate/advanced modern dance continues to explore more advanced elements of the modern technique. The class will focus on increasing bodily strength, flexibility, coordination, and balance in a more challenging way. Progressions across the floor will use natural kin-esthetic movement created by cyclical falling and recovery. Off-center balance work and the use of fall and rebound will be encouraged. The center combinations will continue to use the breath as well as the body to resist gravity and suspend movement.
