Class Experience
Contemporary dance is a free-moving style of dance that nurtures the soul. Anything goes! In my class, students are free to express themselves in a safe space. Students will be introduced to the basics of contemporary movement. The class will be led through a full body warm-up and stretch which will get our bodies ready for class. Next, we will begin a series of unique improvisation prompts that promote inner creativity and exploration. Lastly, we will learn a contemporary dance. Each week will be something new! After each class, students will film themselves performing the choreography and post it in the classroom page. I will then privately send personalized notes to each student to encourage the learners and give individualized feedback on where I think they can improve or strengthen their skills. In addition, each learner will also watch each others' videos in the classroom page and submit a comment sharing something they loved about their friends' dancing. This promotes a healthy learning environment where everyone feels uplifted and encouraged by their peers! At the end of this 4-week session, students will leave feeling refreshed and challenged. Our session will go as follows: - Week 1: Emphasis placed on connecting our emotions with our dance. - Week 2: Emphasis placed on finding freedom of expression in improvisation. - Week 3: Learning how proper body placement comes into play in stretching and choreography. - Week 4: Understanding how to mix both smooth and sharp movements together to create more dynamic pictures.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am excited to bring dance and movement classes to Outschool. Currently, I still train in all styles of dance 10+ hours every week. I have 9 years of experience dancing and teaching children ages 3-19 years old. I look forward to sharing my passion for teaching and my love of the arts to everyone here on Outschool.
I will be bringing jazz, jazz technique, flexibility, hip hop, jazz funk, contemporary, and improvisation classes to this platform.
In my classes, I emphasize the importance of proper body alignment, technique, and dance fundamentals. I also pride myself in embracing each learners' personal style and unique way of movement. My classes allow for a safe place to express individuality while fostering a connection among learners, all while having fun.
I can't wait to connect with all of you and see you in the classroom.Reviews
