DANCE CLASS: Contemporary with Kristi

We're continuing our Monday Night Movement series for the month of February! Join us Monday, February 20, at 7PM for a Contemporary dance class taught by a local artist professional Kristi Schaffner. (More dates on our calendar page!)

ABOUT THE CLASS

This class will pull from classical modern dance techniques, while  exploring a variety of movement qualities and dynamics designed to  challenge the individual performer. Dancers will be encouraged to  thoughtfully consider the material and how it relates to their own  bodies, abilities and performance styles. This is a good opportunity for  dancers who want to stay sharp and quick when picking up and performing  choreography, and who enjoy the juxtaposition of mixing traditional  movement vocabulary with contemporary exploration.
