Contemporary Inter/adv. 15yrs+

This class weaves release technique, floorwork, modern dance techniques and more into a rich class that explores a variety of movement styles. The classes vary from fluid lyrical movements to athletic leaps and jumps, street styles, fancy footwork, and intricate hand and arm movements, and partner work. The aim is to create an adventurous dance experience that incorporates a down to earth aesthetic with a contemporary outlook.

Class is fast paced, athletic and will include conditioning for enhanced floorwork. It is designed for experienced movers looking for a more complex and challenging class physically and mentally.  Taking the House class before is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED, with only an hour, dancers should be warm, and the class prior is a perfect preparation for the contemporary material students will delve into.

Students must be enrolled in 3+ classes a week to enrol in this class, exceptions can be made for experienced movers, email with questions.
