Class Description:
This class balances technique, improvisation, body awareness, and choreography. We emphasize breath and coordination, play with rhythm, and musicality, and invite creativity, expression and play. Warm-ups are intentionally designed from a strong understanding of anatomy, preparing the body to move safely and freely. Movement phrases and choreography draw on a variety of Modern dance principles, often incorporating themes from jazz and social dances. World music, jazz and popular music provide our inspiring soundtrack.Ongoing classes for dancers with 2+ years dance experience or permission of the instructor.

Experienced dancers are welcome to drop-in without registration. Contact Maren with questions: maren@movingjoystudios.com or 607-227-7422.
