Styles to Embody
SITE-SPECIFIC
Dances that take inspiration from the environment. Interest lies in drawing attention to place and discovering the local voice of the site. Notice the sounds, the smells, the materials and the habitants that reside.
We are all guests in nature’s dance studio - a convenient departure from traditional indoor studios.
CONTEMPORARY
This style of dance offers creative freedom, pushes boundaries, incorporates intricate gestures, strength, full bodied movements and stillness. It is a multi-faceted form that meets individuals in their present state and body. Contemporary dance draws from several different genres including modern, lyrical, somatic, and ballet - all with a common goal of connecting the mind and body.
JAZZ
Vernacular Jazz has a long history rooted in Africa, particularly in the traditions of West African culture, in which music and dance are functional aspects of everyday life. Social elements of jazz dance include honoring community and individuality. Personal expression and improvisation lie at the heart of this form, filled with articulations of the torso, body part isolations, polyrhythms and a grounded stance.
LATIN DANCESPORT
Five dances make up the international Latin category: the Samba, the Cha Cha Cha, the Rumba, the Paso Doble and the Jive. Each dance has a unique history reaching beyond the competitive sphere, that is often overlooked. Not only will you learn the romanticized steps but also gain an appreciation for the cultural origins. DanceSport develops physical strength, agility, coordination, and promotes teamwork.
