Teachers & Class Descriptions

Heather

Heather’s class draws on elements of her creative process and asks dancers to engage their sensory system. You’ll be invited to create warmth in your body through fleshy movement and self care. This class will fluctuate between improvisation, visualization, floor work, and release based techniques. Expect to explore movement phrases that address strength and stamina while focusing on using the breath to carry and expand movement. Working with movement that is rooted in momentum we will focus on covering space while developing full body connections.

Izzy

This class is an improvisation based exploration of your body in space and your compositional mind. Focusing on task-based prompts that involve imagery, text, and music, together we will create movement and play with how that movement can shift and change our patterns into something new. 

Nolan

Class will begin with a warmup on the floor, which will build into many different practices of pushing and pulling, tracing the body, core-distal connection, and finding the curve and stretch of your torso. The second half of class shifts into more phrase-building and applying our practices to movement both across the floor and in center. The last few moments of class, we’ll use the concepts we built at the beginning to create an improvisational container.
