Track Description:
Contemporary Modern We will explore a wide base movement vocabulary, using our bodies to move thru space within difference levels and directional changes. We will incorporate some modern dance techniques- to introduce dancers to the Lester Horton, and Martha Graham techniques. Our hope is to obtain a strong core, increase our flexibility, while learning some basic knowledge of laterals, flat backs, contraction and T’s. We will also look into the connection of emotions to movement and the important part music plays in dance. Jazz This will be a very energized class including a complete warm-up of the entire body to optimize the fullest range of motion possible. We will enhance our flexibility, while also concentrating on isolations. The class tempo will start slow and progress in speed and sharpness. With movement across the floor, including jazz kicks, jumps and turns. Ballet This will be a beginning/intermediate ballet class that will focus on graceful and fluid movements. Our goal will be to increase flexibility and body control. As with the other dance forms there will be a warm up starting with plies and leading all the way to long stretches. The class will start at the ballet bare, then move to center floor and progress across the floor. Ballet requires years of training so our wish with this class will be to further develop dancers technical base and introduce newcomers to the lines and French based vocabulary terminology. |
