Subject:

Description:

This class focuses on developing techniques to create new pathways in the body by drawing on elements of contemporary dance techniques that are influenced by Contact Improvisation, Body-Mind CenteringT, FeldenkraisT and Laban-based work. Students learn and practice choreographed movement phrases emphasizing efficiency, ease and momentum. Contemporary dance technique offers the individual a sense of flight and freedom in their movement by allowing the skeletal structure to provide the core strength for full body dancing. Using movement as the source of creativity and expression, this class explores the potential of the body starting with a slow warm up to align and awaken the body, progressing into invigorating and vitalizing dance. Prerequisite: PFAR 280 or permission of instructor.
