Full Description
MODERN 3 for ages 13-adult
With Shannon Nulf
This class is centered on the principles and techniques of Modern dance, primarily drawing inspiration from the Humphrey technique, which emphasizes fall and recovery, breath rhythm, and natural movement. Students will learn fundamental movements of the Humphrey technique, and build flexibility, stamina, and freedom of movement, all while discovering the relevance of this technique in contemporary dance. Class will begin with center warm-up exercises, and progress into more challenging sequences before moving into modern floorwork. From there, dancers will begin to move across the floor, utilizing travelling, turning, and jumping sequences. Students invited into Level 3 Modern practice have an understanding of studio etiquette, the ability to accept corrections, and have a basic knowledge of modern floor and center work principles.
