Teaching Reel
About Class
I teach beginner to intermediate contemporary modern dance classes.
I strive to facilitate my co-students in finding ease, sustainability and joy within effort and awareness.
We do this by beginning class focusing on breathe, imagery and weight.
We warm up slowly using circular and sequential movement, in improvisation and set exercises.
During class I encourage focusing on & moving from sensation, texture, and weight.
By the end of class, we are moving big and taking chances (maybe even falling!)-- all while keeping a focus on safety, efficiency, and sustainability.
I recommend wearing long sleeves and pants, as we generally work a lot on the floor.
