Class Description:
Brice's contemporary class encourages dancers to approach the movement with risk, athleticism, abandonment, breath, weight and focus. While pushing physical boundaries of the body, playing with lines and techniques, the student is invited to explore new ways to move, with organic and emotional intentions. The class is divided in three segments:
1) warm up to center the body and articulate muscles and skeleton
2) improvisation to develop the artistry and imagination of the dancers but also to discover the infinite possibilities of their bodies.
3) learning choreography to develop specificity of movement execution, coordination and memory
