What is Contemporary?

Class Length: 1.5 Hours

Intensity: Low to Medium

Beginner contemporary aims to ground ourselves and find expression in movement. The class is an hour and a half. It will begin with a mindfulness practice which will lead into guided improvisation, encouraging you to explore your own movement vocabulary and warm up your body. The class progresses through center and across the floor with exercises honing our contemporary technique. The class will end with a longer combination using concepts explored throughout class within phrase work. 

Adaptions are encouraged and welcome in class! All bodies and people are welcome in space.
