Develop your understanding of weight placement, alignment and contemporary dance technique.
Our expert teacher Natalie Dodd will guide you through the basics of core contemporary dance vocabularies and techniques which includes Cunningham and release. Cunningham technique emphasises the movement of the spine through curves, tilts, twists, and arches. Incorporation of release technique encourages flowing movements that focus on breath.
Nataliewill lead you in building strength, technique, coordination and articulation, adjusting movement exercises where appropriate for different skill levels.
Accompanied by live music from Bobby Demers, you will have the opportunity to explore your own styles and approach to movement through a choreographed phrase that will be taught in class.
