This class is about full-bodied dynamic dancing and finding the excitement of momentum and clarity. Developing an understanding of the connection of gravity, suspension, tempo and musicality requires the student’s creative attention and in this class each dancer as an artist is supported throughout their process. My vocabulary is developed with a sense of design, both physical and spacial. The class begins with a series of exercises designed specifically to develop an awareness of the internal dynamic and the external shape of movement phrases that culminate in a detailed and very physical combination.
