Katrina Perrin
Horton
Biography:
Katrina is an alumni of the American Musical and Dramatic Academy where she earned a degree in musical theater. Since graduation, she has continued studying modern dance at Alvin Ailey where she completed the Horton Pedagogy workshop with Ana Marie Forsythe. Over the past 5 years she has worked with Milton Myers, Katherine Nauman and JoLea Maffai, learning how to teach the technique in depth. She currently demonstrates for JoLea Maffai’s Horton class at Steps on Broadway. When she is not in the studio, she performs freelance gigs all over the city in with various entertainment companies. Katrina is also a certified personal trainer and pilates instructor. Prior to moving to New York City, she taught ballet and jazz at the Landing Dance Academy in Cadillac Michigan.Class Description:
Come and discover why the modern dance technique of Lester Horton is a classic technique uniquely suited for training the contemporary dancer. Through its study, strength, flexibility, and a balanced body can be attained without imprinting the dancer with a discernable style. We will be examining the fundamentals of this exciting technique, exploring elements of the studies and fortifications, and incorporating them into choreographic phrases both in the center and across the floor. Musicality will also be a primary focus as we work in tandem with our class accompanist. No previous experience with Horton technique is required.
