ADULT PROGRAM CLASS DESCRIPTIONS - FALL 2022
ADULT BEGINNER MODERN
Mondays, 6:30-8:00pm Eastern Time
Beg/Int Modern is a gentle movement class open to all; absolute beginners welcome. Drawing from traditional and contemporary forms, we will warm ourselves and practice full, unapologetic embodiment. Class will include phrasework, improvisation, and follow-along exercises to help us cultivate buoyant, adaptive bodies. We will sweat, stretch, and condition.
TEEN/ADULT CONTEMPORARY BALLET (open level)
Wednesdays, 9-10:30am and Saturdays, 10:30am-12:00pm
Students will be invited into contemporary approaches to ballet techniques that include kindness, rigor, coordination, curiosity, and specificity. Together, we will deepen physical exploration and expand knowledge of movement vocabulary. In these classes, dancers will learn and increase familiarity with ballet terminology, and apply anatomical information for maximized freedom within form, function, and joy.
Experiential and Somatic approach to Ballet.
Open to all levels who want to train together in a supportive environment. This program is for anyone who loves ballet, especially the people whom ballet has left out. Reimagine the standard components of a ballet class and prioritize joy, generosity, play, mutual admiration, and virtuosity.
ADVANCED CONTEMPORARY TECHNIQUES
Fridays, 10-11:30am with rotating teachers
This morning technique class is an intermediate/ advanced highly physical class working towards a grounded and direct approach to movement, infused with somatic principles and experiential improvisations. We will focus on the volume and weight inside the body and its relationship to the floor, bring awareness to the feet, spine, and pelvic floor, encourage the feeling of release in the limbs, and articulate falling and suspending off-center. Class work explores sensation, instinct, and the inherent musical phrasing inside the body. Open to all ages with previous experience.
COUNTERTECHNIQUE
Sundays, 2-3:30pm with Maya Laliberte
In Countertechnique classes, dancers are introduced step-by-step to the various tools – making sure, however, that the priority always lies with experiencing and enjoying the difference in moving, rather than first having to understand the tools intellectually. Classes are therefore very accessible, and can be taught to participants of all levels. Dancers are encouraged to be pro-active in discovering connections and solutions, to be less concerned with judging themselves and to work in a healthy way with regard to body and mind. Throughout the process dancers increasingly become their own teachers, allowing them to practice and progress even at times when a teacher is not available!
