Class draws from the principles of Limón and Humphrey, offering an in-depth exploration of fall and recovery.

Often, we explore how these tools can be applied within a contemporary movement framework, bridging the history of these techniques into today's time.

Contemporary class going through the traditional ballet and modern warm ups to set the body up for a very nice dancing phrase at the end

This technique class begins on the floor through directed improvisation and somatic-based exercises designed to activate the mind/body connection and ground dancers in the present moment. Elements in nature serve as inspiration for warmup exercises and invite dancers to expand their potential for movement expression, spark creativity, and awaken the senses. Combining small gestures with full-body movements, dancers will be challenged to maintain the intricacies and details of phrase material and integrity of the choreography, while investigating the material in their own body and taking ownership over the phrase. A thread of improvisation runs through the class experience linking exercises and encouraging dancers to be curious and expand their awareness to include one another and the surrounding environment. This class contains a warmup, various exercises for center/across the floor, and a center combination that weaves together class concepts and explores movement quality, flow, and texture.

Finding Your Groove is an exploration of House dance as a living, evolving language.

We move beyond repetitive drills, focusing instead on how the "Jack"—the soulful pulse of House can be integrated into complex footwork and contemporary flow. This is a space to bridge the gap between technical precision and the raw, improvisational spirit of the club.
