Modern Dance
Modern emphasizes the use of the floor for centering and grounding oneself in movement. This Modern dance enrollment class introduces the fundamental principles of Modern dance and will build week to week. Basic movement concepts such as over curve/under curve and contraction/release of the torso, articulation of the spine, and modern dance vocabulary, musicality and rhythm are explored.
