All classes are held from 9:00-10:30am.

Brianna Johnson: Tuesday, February 24 
Drawing from release technique, we will use weight and momentum as our guides to begin low and slow. We will use gravity to ease joints into motion and establish a deep internal listening. From this grounded state, we will build toward dynamic floorwork and vigorous phrases. Sessions may integrate guided improvisation and contact-based partnering, exploring both the physics of momentum and the tenderness of support.

Rae Fox-Charles: Mondays and Tuesdays, March 2—March 10
Contemporary movement class grounded in Release Technique. The class will invite dancers to focus on specificity, groundedness, momentum, and suspension as they are challenged to fluently integrate diverse movement vocabularies including but not limited to Jazz, Ballet, Horton Technique, and Afro-diasporic dance forms. The end goal being a refined personal understanding of physical effort and intention.

Lily Conforti: Mondays and Tuesdays, March 16—March 31
This class will be a mix of partnering and floor work focusing on equitable weight sharing, lifting fundamentals, flow and phrase work into and out of the floor.

All additional Monday/Tuesday dates February 10—March 31 will be either Ballet or Modern technique taught by Threads AD/ED, Karen L. Charles.
