Class Description:
This choreography driven class is focused on the use of texture and quality of movement within storytelling. We'll begin with a warm up consisting of cardio and dynamic stretching, and proceed to learn a short phrase that mixes classical and non-classical vocabulary. Get ready to connect the internal with the external.
