CLASS DESCRIPTION
This class explores structured improvisation through sudden shifts in timing, direction, and texture, blending contemporary dynamics with hip hop influence. Dancers will engage with the residue of movement, allowing moments to settle before rupturing into the next. Rooted in cause and effect, the class invites freedom through form, playing with both literal and abstract concepts to challenge physical and imaginative boundaries. Phrase & floor work will be included, knee pads are encouraged.
