Class Description

This class runs like a contemporary combo class, with a focus on classical technique fused into contemporary ballet movement. Dancers will start at the barre, warming up the muscles and bones to support our center movement. Barre will focus on stability of the legs and core, freedom and expression of the upper body, articulation of the spine, specificity of footwork, and finding center vs off center. In the second half of the class students will learn a center phrase including turns, jumps, extensions and dynamics, to a piece of music where they can apply and expand upon concepts from the barre, including the use of rhythm, musicality and expression.
