Contemporary

An eclectic and full bodied experience that focuses on
using the roots and ideals of Release Technique to find
a healthy ease throughout the body yet the ability to
attack movement. This class utilizes the floor as a
partner instead of just a surface, explores oppositional
directions to help discover length and stability and
delves into the relationship between strength and
effortlessness. Through various set exercises built to
warm up the body and the mind, as well as an open
ended and adaptable process of creating phrase-work,
each dancer will test their boundaries and research
their own individual and authentic voice as a mover.
