SHIFTING ROOTS – Alegado Movement Language (AML) is the synthesis of the principles of the José Limón Technique and the movement qualities and characteristics developing from those concepts. After many years of evolution, Shifting Roots has grown into a self-sustaining movement language that continues to carry the DNA of the José Limón philosophy.

Gravity, fall, recovery, and suspension of movement are inherent in AML, yet hand and arm gestures distinguish it from the Limón technique. These hand and arm gestures create infinite reactions from the body structure as it moves through space. Participants experience this connection as well as how to discover the very important transitions of weight. Coordination, rhythm, focus and, above all, authenticity in movement are some of the goals.

A mixed blend of classical modern techniques focusing on strength and sequential moment execution.

Contemporary Jazz will focus on the collaboration of contemporary movement with Luigi, Giordano, and Fosse Jazz techniques. The class will begin with a traditional jazz warm-up and lead into contemporary jazz across-the-floor and center repertoire combinations.

This class seeks to find expansiveness, release, and a sense of grounding within ballet. We will challenge ourselves to let go of the classical mindset of technique to find the limits within our own bodies and minds as we attempt to redefine this technique in individual bodies. This class will follow a traditional ballet format with the use of contemporary ballet combinations and non traditional music.

This class explores the transfer of energy, tension, and trust within contemporary partnering. Through this class we hope to gain a sense of trust not only in others, but also within ourselves. The goal of this class is to find the strength within release and the ability to listen and respond with sensitivity to those around us. This class will include improv based work as well as partnering phrase work.

In class, I encourage authentic, and spontaneous movement with personal interpretation. My classes focus on self-expression, awareness of body language, and efficient use of body weight and alignment. I like to bridge the worlds of commercial and concert dance and explore how a dancer can develop a “personal brand” within performance. Urging the dancer to develop an ownership of personal style. “What do you want to be known for and how can you show it within your artistry?” Classes include a warm-up, an across-the-floor section, and conclude in a self-expressive, combination.

In this class we will experience a contemporary feel like class where we will explore movement, learn about different ways to approach movement quality/body awareness. We will explore through lead movement exercises/activities all culminating with a small movement phrase and cool down !!

My movement style is an amalgamation of my experience growing up with the Los Angeles commercial dance influence and my professional concert dance training and career.

Floorwork changes the body´s relationship with gravity , and requires dancers to navigate between higher and lower levels(going in and out of the floor) as well as certain more athletic power moves . It allows dancers to increase their versatility and movement efficiency. Relating floorwork to more technical movement may help students understand how to transition to the ground.

The class utilizes simple movement patterns that involve breathing, speed and the release of energy throughout the body in order to activate the relationship between the center and the joints, moving in and out of the ground more efficiently by maintaining a centered state.
