Professional Master Classes
Improvisation by Grace Nicklos
This class will explore the mind and body’s exploration with time, energy, and space in real time. Through improvisational prompts and exercises we will discover each others rhythms and intrinsic patterns while working on breaking our predictability.
Contemporary by Bita Bell
Class will explore relationships and space, focusing on releasing tension through bartenieff exercises and connecting with gravity. While developing momentum through space, class will investigate choreographic ideas and performance artistry.
Repertory by DanceTheYard
DTY’s directors have created an emerging body of work and a collective of professional artists who are committed to seeing the work presented in the local and national dance arena. Class will start with a short warm-up, followed by DTY dancers teaching company repertory.
Afro Modern by Mojuba! Dance Collective
Concepts in class will focus on the fusion of movement from the African Diaspora blended with modern and contemporary elements.
Youth Master Classes
Yoga by Elyse Morckel
Yoga builds strength, stamina, and flexibility. Classes will incorporate Vinyasa (flowing movement sequences) with slow, sustained stretches, refinement of alignment in held poses, as well as breath awareness and mental focus. In short, it is a practice of moving meditation, which brings more clarity and peace. Yoga has been defined as ‘Awareness in Action’. We are reminded to listen to our bodies and enjoy the evolution of becoming fully present in the here and now.
Contemporary by DanceTheYard
Class will begin with a guided improvisation and transition to a formal warm-up that refines and defines the movement language used throughout the remainder of the class. Class will culminate in a group combination that challenges bodies and leaves space for the dancers own creativity.
Song & Dance: An experimental movement improvisation by Bone & Fiddle Dance Collective
Inspiration for movement derives from a variety of artist modalities, through the art of dance, these inspirations can be abstracted and morphed into new choreographic compositions. This experimental movement improvisation is based on participants vocalizations, favorite song lyrics, and expressive poetry. Class structure will include a full body and vocal warm ups. Improvisations will be directed by Mrs. Logan based on participants lyric choices, and playing with classic choreographic structures.
Popping by Samuel McIntosh
The street style Popping, is an umbrella term for many styles such as Animation, Tutting, Waving, Dimestops, etc. In this class dancers will touch on the many styles and how basic Popping foundation is used within them all.
