Volcano Art Center’s Dance Imagined classes will explore basic dance technique combined with the pure exhilaration of movement. Smooth, spikey, graceful, flailing, focused, indirect – whatever can be imagined within provides the source for movement without.
Classes will start with a general warm up, moving through all body parts to get the blood flowing and joints loosened. Focus will then shift to the basics of modern dance technique with emphasis on alignment, strengthening the legs and feet, working from the core, and increasing expressive potential through the torso and arms.
A free dance segment follows, accompanied by music ranging from classical to rock to jazz to alternative. Classes will end with a movement and breathing exercise drawn from Juliu Horvath’s GYROKINESIS® methodology.
This class is appropriate for all who love to move. No dance experience is necessary and the technique portion will be a basic introduction.
