The dancers will learn how to challenge their freestyle/improv movement. Improv is the starting point for creators and choreographers. Therefore, it is important to learn different tools and strategies they can use to create movement. This class is filled with energy, movement, and idea sharing. Ms. Erin is a professional choreographer and dancer, so she is here to share all of the strategies and lessons she has found useful in her own studies and dance creations. The class will begin with a short improv warm-up and then lead into discussion based movement and exploration for the rest of class. The students can bring a dance journal or piece of paper to write down the strategies discussed through class. No previous dance studio training is required. We all groove and move to music, which makes us all dancers!
Learning Goals
Students will learn improv based strategies.
Students will talk about their movement explorations.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
Dance requires physical participation, therefore, please make sure your child has an open workout space, slip-proof socks or bare feet, a water bottle near by, and activewear type clothing. Since I am not physically present in the room with the dancers, injuries from moving around are possible if not properly supervised by an adult.
Supply List
Wear clothes you can move and groove in! Socks, jazz shoes, or gym shoes are all welcome. For your safety, make sure you are using no-slip socks and on a floor that has grip for your feet. We will be moving around on one leg and turning, so please have a safe space with room to move your arms and legs.
