CLASS DESCRIPTION
Kristalyn's class cultivates a rich atmosphere of play, tapping into the wellspring of intersectional stylistic training between contemporary technique and groove-based foundations. Class begins with a full-body follow-along warm-up knitting together structural activation and muscular stability before progressing into a study of choreographic phrase work. The goal of class is exploration and embodiment of the movement paired with music rather than performance studies. No videography will occur without consent. Kristalyn aims for this class to serve as a medium to empower and enrich each dancer's artistry through choice-making, risk-taking, and physical discovery.
