Class description
This is a hybrid technique class that draws from West African dance from Senegal and Burkina Faso and improvisation dance techniques. We will have live drumming. We will work to build and refine skills pertaining to contemporary dance including: polyrhythms and spine undulations, improvisational skills, and executing full-bodied movement sequences. Dancers will be given the opportunity to practice material with enough repetition to be able to inhabit the movement with confidence while making individual choices about dynamics, phrasing, presence/performance, and improvisation.
