4-WEEK MODERN DANCE SERIES AT CHESTERWOOD – Beg/Int, for ages 16-adult
With Bettina Montano
Wednesdays 6-7:30pm
July 2, July 16, July 23, August 6
When was the last time you skipped across a lawn with your arms wide open and a song in your heart? Inspired by the spacious lawns and gracious lanscape of Chesterwood, these classes engage breath, flow, rhythm and release as core principles for movement expression and motivation. Drawing on various forms of modern dance, classwork includes opening with improvisation into a structured warm-up with exercises that begin with basic technique and then expand into joyful, dynamic movement phrases with wide use of space.
Some things to know:
– Be prepared to MOVE! Wear comfortable stretchy clothing with layers as needed.
– We will be dancing on grass so barefeet or non-slippery socks are recommended.
– Outdoor classes mean bugs are invited.
– Classes will be cancelled if rain is forecasted.
Full series commitment is required.
Students may pay with class passes, or $80 for the whole series
Beginners/Intermediate – Classes marked Beginners/Intermediate are for anyone with some previous movement experience and/or anyone with previous movement experience in the specific dance style of the class.
