My style of partnering is rooted in collaboration, creativity, and communication. In class, we will focus on the fundamentals of weight sharing, counterbalance, lifting, and safety, as rooted in my work with Pilobolus Dance Theater, through a warmup, skill building, and play. In every class I build in time to play and explore using the tools built throughout class, so you leave with confidence and usable skills you can apply to your own practice. I strive for an inclusive and welcoming environment and believe every person in the room brings new possibilities to the work, so all are welcome regardless of experience level!
My class style is contemporary fusion, combining the varied dance styles of my background and encouraging you to explore melding the styles of your own dance vocabulary! In class, my goal is to help you find new ways to play with dynamics, choices, and musicality. We'll start with a full body warm up, followed by exploratory improv, and an uplifting, groovy yet feel-good combo. I can't wait to dance with you!
UDC workshops are always open to all, but please note that choreography will be geared toward intermediate level dancers.
