ADULT PROGRAM CLASS DESCRIPTIONS - FALL 2021
ADULT BEGINNER MODERN
Mondays, 6:30-8:00pm Eastern Time, with Jen Polins, Katherine Adler, and Meredith Bove
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.
ADULT BALLET
Wednesdays, 9-10:30am and Saturdays, 10:30am-12:00pm Eastern Time, with Jen Polins, Ellie Goudie- Averill, and Kate Martel
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 Eastern Time, 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.
TEEN / ADULT HIP HOP (ages 12+)
Saturdays, 10:45am-12:00pm Eastern Time, with Angelica "Jelly" Polk (FIRST CLASS IS OCTOBER 30TH!)
Enjoy this Hip-Hop Funk class for dancers on intermediate to advanced level of hip-hop. This fun class will improve coordination and performance skills. Dancers will also learn a mixture of house dance, Afrobeat, old/new hip-hop that challenges groovy, hard hitting, and fast rhythms.
