Starting with prayer and scripture, the participants will warm up their bodies and souls to uplifting gospel music. The class will then proceed in learning a vocabulary of movement as we praise God through dance. Because of the spiritual quality of this class, we request that there are no observers. Participants explore African-American and Jamaican singing traditions and vocalization styles, including excerpts from the company's vocal repertory. Led by the full company.
All ages welcome.
