In this class, dancers will explore their own movement language through guided prompts and spontaneous, instinct-driven improvisation. By connecting mind and body in an immersive creative process, dancers unlock fresh ideas and unique ways of moving. These discoveries enhance their versatility and depth as professional dancers, movers, and artists.

This class introduces the foundations of choreography, guiding students through the process of creating movement and effectively communicating their artistic vision. Dancers will explore sources of inspiration, learn to shape a creative environment, and develop a deeper understanding of a choreographer’s role and responsibilities. By stepping into the choreographer’s shoes, students gain valuable perspective that can enhance collaboration and streamline the creative process—while potentially uncovering a new passion or career path within the arts.

This technique-focused class is designed to enhance leaps, jumps, and turns—key elements for any competitive dancer. Each class includes a warmup, flexibility training, and conditioning, with an emphasis on alignment, centering, and extension to build core strength, balance, and overall technique. As students progress, instructors provide individualized corrections while refining technical skills. This class also reinforces and builds upon foundations introduced in Jazz and Ballet, helping to correct improper form early on. Strong technique reflects a dancer’s maturity and directly contributes to higher competition scores.
