tuesday 12:00Pm - Mychal Bryan

The Cuban Modern Dance technique is a powerful exploration of Afro-Cuban movement fused with Western modern and contemporary dance. In this class, we will explore the primary elements of the technique, including: respiration, contraction/release, undulation, spirals, and opposition. We will explore both center and floor work through basic exercises which we will eventually build into more complex and longer phrases. This class will follow the structure of the first year curriculum that is taught at the National School of Dance (ENA) in Havana, Cuba. One hour and 30 minutes.

Wednesday 12:00Pm - Victoria Kickham

Contemporary Jazz is a wonderful way to work feel-good, body-aware movement into your day! Each class utilizes a warm-up, short combination and cool-down to refresh and renew the body and wake-up the mind. Victoria has worked for years with adults and incorporates principles of the Simonson Technique—an organic approach to movement that prepares the body to dance in a way that is anatomically intelligent and somatically aware—into her adult and teen classes. This is the perfect mid-day movement class! One hour.
