Beginner Level
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!
