Fundamentals for Contemporary Dance

This class is designed to help you explore the art of Contemporary Dance through a series of guided exercises that build trust in your body and its relationship to the floor and space. You’ll learn efficient movement concepts unique to contemporary dance such as expansion and contraction, while developing strength, mobility, and confidence.

We’ll focus on foundational elements like breath work and how it translates to smooth sequences, upper body and core strength to support movement, and the balance between ease and effort. You'll also learn practical skills like how to safely fall, recover, and roll. T

Ideas We Will Explore Together:

  • Ebb and flow of breath to enhance floorwork sequences
  • Building upper body and core strength for support in motion
  • Releasing tension to find balance between ease and effort
  • Safely falling, recovering, and rolling

Class is open to all levels.

Suggested Attire:

  • Pants that cover the knees
  • Optional: long sleeve shirt for comfort, knee pads
For multiple classes, we are offering various "Class Pass" options. To purchase, please visit the link below:
