My class - Traci

Proper alignment leads to greater strength and power within movement.   The warmup will enhance body awareness and provide the key elements for the dancer to move efficiently, therefore producing maximum expressivity.  The movement style is heavily influenced by my training in classical dance techniques including Graham and Taylor, and is combined with postmodern ideologies.  The phrasework will demonstrate how these styles can be beneficial to the growing dancer.

postpone/reschedule?

Hi,

I hear that many of you will be going to an audition this Thursday, April 16. Could we postpone and reschedule Traci Klein's class for sometime next week? maybe on Monday or Tuesday 12:15?

Thanks,
Gerald

PS, Thank you for your class Faye - being first makes you bear the brunt for all the guinea pigs. Well done!

Faye's Updated Class Description

Faye Lim's Class Description

"This contemporary dance class is focused on preparing the dancers’ bodyminds for utmost expression. We begin by cycling through exercises based on somatic practices, such as Bartenieff Fundamentals, to motivate efficiency in the joints. Phrases that draw on my training in contemporary dance and taijiquan urge dancers to explore the interplay between effort and momentum, advancing and yielding. Space and time will be set aside for dancers to observe and discuss their experience of the movement. "


"advancing and yielding"

Sacrowedgy?

Have you heard of the sacrowedgy? I found this video and was wondering if anyone has seen this... It's like using a tennis ball but built to complement the sacrum...
