Startup Modern
a sensation of earth and how it profoundly affects our movement
All my teaching reflects a dedication to establishing our relationship to the earth and to the animal in us. My desire is to have the students experience how this connection can influence how we initiate and attack our movement as well as how we can discover the very important transitions in dance. Coordination, rhythm, focus and, above all, honesty in movement, will be some of our goals.

... to achieve movement at a performance level
The principles of movement, which we begin to explore in my beginning levels, are taken to a higher, more complex level of coordination of arms, legs and torso as well as rhythmic changes, weight shifts and dynamic transitions. Embracing the search for a connection to the earth, allows us the posibility, the potential to reach upward to heights always necessary when our goal is to achieve movement at a performance level.
