This beginning modern class is designed for those with little to no experience with modern dance techniques. We will dive deeper into the vocabulary of modern dance classes, using Laban Movement Analysis and Bartenieff fundamentals as a guiding point to explore release techniques through an embodied practice. Dancers will explore exercises that utilize weight-shifts, floor-work, rhythm, transitions, level changes, and direction changes, with a focus on personal strength and safety for the individual dancer.

Countertechnique® with Samuel Melecio-Zambrano
Countertechnique® is a contemporary dance technique class. It stretches, coordinates, and strengthens the body, making the dancer sweat, build stamina, and really move. The class starts with a recurring set of exercises, allowing dancers to investigate the Countertechnique principles in detail. The second half of the class consists of changing components, working towards luscious movement combinations and jumping at the end. As a result, dancers will use less energy, lose their fear of taking risks, and gain speed in changing directions.
