Lecture Demonstrations

50-60 minutes in length, suitable for entire school, requires 6-8 dancers, can be performed in a gym, multi-purpose room or auditorium

Lecture Demonstrations are narrated performances that focus on the history of dance, the choreographic process and the art of improvisation. Demonstrations give the audience insight into how to watch, appreciate and even create dances.

Develop an appreciation and understanding of dance. Invite your audience to experience a dance journey from self expression, to the Avant Garde, to new age and beyond. The early historical repertory is especially valuable to audiences of all ages in lecture demonstration form.

Movement Classes (for all ages and skill levels)

45-90 minutes in length, requires 1-2 dancers, designed for 30 students in a space 30 feet by 40 feet

The movement explorations are designed to develop awareness that the body can be used as an instrument of self expression. Classes offer information necessary to help students build strength, flexibility, endurance, coordination and awareness while developing an understanding of the elements of dance - time, space, shape, and energy. Movement classes provide alternate way to learn and achieve basic educational objectives.

Some options for classes include:

• Modern Dance Technique
• Repertory
• Composition / Improvisation
• Movement for Actors
• Movement for Athletes
• Parent / Child Classes
