Something Russian, a ballet about his childhood musical memories which premiered at City Center Studios, NYC in May 1998 and Friends, Sisters, Twins, a piece that tells a story of three different relationships are just two of the ballets he has created. To facilitate the development of more choreographic work, he started tdc, tressor dance company with Nolen Bailey in 1997. A barre where greater emphasis is placed on the musicality than the complexity of the steps and where stretching and balance are an integral part. The center starts with a short adagio where both musicality and broadness of movement are stressed. Pirouette combinations and small jumps are followed by a simple petite allegro with emphasis on soft landings and preparation for big jumps.
Complexity takes a back seat to correctness, musicality and speed.
The expressive and musical experience afforded the dancer in this class ends with grand allegro which is constructed to allow the dancer a broad range of movement without placing excessive strain on the body. It provides a low to medium impact workout for both the upper and lower body. Center exercises combine specific floor work, stretches and balance routines. Participants do not need any prior dance training to participate in the class with comfort and confidence. Contact us .
