This class is a great opportunity for students to build on and improve their modern dance skills. Dancers will focus on contractions, spirals, basic floor work, and elemental concepts of space, time, and force. They will also build core strength and flexibility in a fun and encouraging environment. This class features live musical accompaniment and is for students who have taken the Intro to Modern Series or have some experience with modern dance.

A great opportunity to continue to hone and refine the skills developed in Beginning Modern dance. Mark Morris Dance Group company member Lesley Garrison teaches students more advanced classical modern dance vocabulary with live musical accompaniment.  Students will focus on contractions, spirals, basic floor work, and elemental concepts of space, time and force and build core strength and flexibility in a fun and encouraging environment.

Join us once a month for an immersive workshop in the technique and repertoire of legendary dance innovator, Isadora Duncan. This rare opportunity to study the expressive movement vocabulary will focus on the distinct elements of her technique and relate the work to dance history and contemporary practice. An unconventional genius of her time, Duncan created works which have retained their vitality and relevance for today’s dancers. In each session, we will experience the full body flow of the technique and then explore dances from Duncan’s sensational and sensual repertoire.

For dancers with a minimum of 2 years dance experience. No prior Duncan training necessary.
