An investigation of off-balanced yet precise multi-focused movement. Classes begin by grounding and strengthening the core of the body while encouraging in each dancer an alert presence. From there, dancers progress through a series of buoyant and spiraling sequences that harness forces of momentum and demand intricate expressions of the limbs. These sequences eventually combine into a dynamic performance phrase. Interplay with live music offers a rich exchange of texture, rhythm, and nuance.
