Every week class will begin with a warm-up. We will stretch our muscles, condition for strength and also work on technical elements of Contemporary dance. The next part of class we will do what we call "Across the Floor." During this section of class, we learn and practice leaps, turns, and small combinations to get our body and mind ready to remember choreography. The last part of class is what most students find the most fun! We learn a short dance. These dances will be creative, unique, and really focus on musicality, flow and technique of Contemporary dance. This class will help you find your inner creativity. It will help you express yourself in ways that feels comfortable on your body. You will learn how to pick up choreography, all while having a great time!
Learning Goals
Students will learn the basics of Contemporary dance. They will understand the way their body moves, and have increased knowledge of musicality. They will be able to hear the different rhythms of the music, and move their body to those rhythms. All while improving their dance technique, and having fun!

Occasionally injuries do occur when dancing. They are rare, but can happen when participating in physical activity. I carefully guide, assist, coach and watch during the activity to help prevent any injury.
