Contemporary Floor Work and Partnering

Floor work and spatial awareness are the foundations of this class. Preparing the body for dynamic movement, the class begins with an emphasis on floor as a partner. From this fundamental realization and embodiment, contemporary partner work will emerge between participants. As the class continues, phrases and movements become more complex and physically demanding.
