CLASS DESCRIPTIONS
Intermediate Pilates Mat Class
Instructor:
Julia Miller
Beneficial for both dancers and
non-dancers, Pilates classes are based on concepts and exercises of the
methodology of Joseph Pilates that focus on improving flexibility, strength and
coordination. It involves muscular toning exercises with deep stretches to
create long, lean, beautiful muscles. The
exercises help facilitate correct spinal alignment and are ideal for dancers (or
anyone) as they strengthen without bulking muscles, thus enabling greater ease
of movement. This work also energizes the
body so it is beneficial before class or performance.
Hip Hop
Instructor:
Anton Smith
With the integration of R&B, street jazz and different styles of hip hop, this
class is a fun, positive and energetic experience that is geared towards the
experienced mover/dancer, hip hop novice, or anyone who just wants to move! All levels welcome.
Wear clothes you can move in and sneakers.
Feldenkrais®
Awareness Through Movement®
Instructor:
Lindley
Hunter SIlverman
and Bonnie Angelie

recurring injuries and reduce chronic tension. Awareness Through Movement
classes are designed to be transformational for all ages and conditions.
Each class consists of gentle neuromuscular re-patterning exercises to help you
recognize habitual movement patterns and discover more comfortable ways to move.
Modern Technique -
(Beg/Int)
Instructor:
Tammy Rosen
This modern class
emphasizes the use
of floor for centering and grounding oneself in movement, and like other dance
forms brings its own focus on the use of breath (inhale/exhale) to bring quality
to movement. Concepts of overcurve/undercurve, contraction/release, musicality
and rhythm are explored. The class incorporates an eclectic blend of
contemporary and post modern movement for a style that is both quirky and organic.
Students can expect a deep, fluid warm-up with an emphasis on correct
alignment. Phrase material includes floor work and gives dancers the
opportunity to explore their own expression and style while challenging their
technique and performance abilities.
Class motto: "Dance is fun!"
