CLASS DESCRIPTIONS:
Contemporary Modern- with Kate Martel and Jen Polins This morning technique class is a 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. *Showing of work on FRIDAY AUGUST 25 at 1 PM! Composition and Dance Making with Kate Martel and Jen Polins Let's make dances with bodies and objects and our imaginations!! During these sessions, we will learn basic composition skills and use sound and props both as duet partners and as source material. We will study relationship, emotion, texture, weight, permeability, and more as we create short dances together. *Showing of work on FRIDAY AUGUST 25 at 1 PM! Contemporary Ballet with Kate Martel and Jen Polins This is your hour to breathe, sweat, and dance! The class combines experiential and somatic explorations with the traditional ballet barre format set to pop tunes. Open to all levels who want to train together in a supportive environment. This class 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, curiosity, and virtuosity. Hip Hop with Taionna Pope This class will be focused on memory of choreography, bringing power to the moves, and individual style. Even though we are on screens, we'll be implementing activities to bring us together as a class. We will be working on a new song every two weeks! So bring your sneakers, some water, and your energy for this 1 hour class of hip hop!
