This is a Mixed Level class based in the technique of Martha Graham. This is a great opportunity to work with a powerful and fully developed technique that revolutionized dance. The most classical of modern techniques, Graham achieves the unique fusion of yoga and a reverence for the sacredness of breath, and a celebration of the pelvis and spine as the origin of all movement. Deeply compatible with classical ballet, Graham technique produces great dramatic power, a sense of weight even in lyricism, and a strong center. Movements from Martha Graham's master works will be presented and explained, and jumps, leaps, and adagio as well as the yoga-based floor work will be the focus of the class.
