Beginner Adult Modern Dance Class

Class Description: Get in touch with your inner-creative self! Modern dance allows you to express yourself in a manner that is good for the body and soul. Creative expression is healthy and fun! This class is for beginners; please join us if you have always wanted to try dance, this class is for you! Class structure includes warm-up, center work, strengthening exercises and traveling across the floor. Basic principles of dance, body mechanics, techniques, and a variety of movement techniques are introduced and explored through floor /center work, as well as through short movement combinations. In addition, modern will focus on breathing and body awareness in order to improve the quality of one’s movement. Students will develop the means for individual expression and seek inner motivation for movement. Unlike most other forms, modern dance’s ultimate goal is not performance aesthetic, but instead how a dancer feels upon creating movement. This class is offered in a safe, non-judgmental, playful environment. Excited to see you on the dance floor! What To Wear: Class is done in barefeet, so no need to buy shoes! Comfortable exercise clothing is fine! Most adults wear a tank top or t shirt and exercise pants/leggings. You can bring a pair of footie socks to use for the ballet warm ups.
