Class Description
Gabrielle Lamb's class establishes a safe but challenging environment for contemporary movement exploration. Dancers will have the opportunity to work on movement initiation from different points in the body and learn strategies for efficient level changes and seamless flow of movement. We will prepare with a continuous warmup that builds coordination, strength, and movement quality by incorporating elements of yoga and the Feldenkrais Method. The second half of class will consist of detailed phrasework from the Pigeonwing Dance repertoire.
