Winter classes are now in session. Drop-in students are welcome in all classes.
Beginning 2 Afro Modern
This class fuses aspects of African and Afro-Caribbean dance with Modern dance. The full warm up begins center, then follows with combinations center and across the floor. The class focuses on the fusion of African movements with Modern dance and the ability to maintain technique/structure while executing each step. The importance of strengthening and stretching the appropriate muscles is a staple of this movement. The use of different rhythms, accents, and dynamics are pertinent while maintaining a grounded and centered base. This class also entails floor work and basic partnering. Some dance experience recommended.
Instruction will cover basic patterns (steps), technique for those patterns (what makes each step look and feel good), how to lead and follow, and dance etiquette. Please bring clean, comfortable shoes, preferably leather or suede bottomed to allow you to turn on the floor. Dress shoes, jazz shoes, and character shoes are all good options. No experience required. Come with or without a partner!
Belly Dance
Beginning 1 - Belly Dance is an excellent way to improve coordination, musicality, and poise. This class is a perfect introduction to belly dance for students new to dance.
