Class Description:
Tiffanie’s contemporary class offers a variation of
slow to fast-paced, kinetically charged movement that
incorporate elements of jazz technique and
contemporary modern styles. Warm-up and exercises
include deep stretching, release technique, isolations,
spinal articulations, and floor work to awaken the body
and get the blood pumping, Tiffanie will challenge and
encourage the dancers to bring their most present,
athletic, and virtuosic selves to the exercises and
combinations.
