Emphasis is on the creative process.
Class time will initially be equally divided between technique and improvisation and will be tailored to the skill level of the dancers in taking part. While technique will primarily emphasize Modern Dance, movement vocabulary will emerge from such diverse elements as ballet, jazz, African, and eastern dance forms. Students will be encouraged to explore individual movement preferences and styles and to use their discoveries to develop a final performance piece. Halfway into the session, work on the final performance will be emphasized. Technique and improvisational structures will be designed to support this.
