Dancers will work on flexibility, strength, range and
ease
of
movement and building / maintaining technique. Working
from a
strong center, dancers move through the class finding
freedom
in the use of torso and limbs, finding a sense of dynamics
and
initiation of movement and finding a sense of breath vs.
control.
Born from a foundation in ballet, the warm up is created to
be
a
combination of traditional stretching, center barre and full-
bodied movement. The class focuses on allowing each
dancer
to
work to their fullest potential, using technique to allow for
efficient and effective communication within the
choreography.
Whether working in lyrical, contemporary or traditional jazz
combinations, dancers are challenged to become magnetic
and
confident performers.
