AFRO-BRAZILIAN CONTEMPORARY DANCE TECHNIQUE
Instructor: Shelby Williams
* Participants may arrive 5 minutes before class time to register.
There is no need to call or register beforehand.
Cost is $15.00 per class.
Release technique and traditional and contemporary Afro-Brazilian techniques are intermingled to create a dance environment that infuses each dancer with more knowledge of their bodies while enhancing their personal expression as artists. We push our physical limits and test the waters of possibility to create energetic, bold, athletic, and even silly movement.
Each class is geared toward reaching the point where lines and boundaries between techniques are blurred. This is the point where pure, flowing movement is achieved.
27juncture dance leaves the mind open, the heart pumping, the body craving more, and the dancer energized.
Note: This class does incorporate floor work; kneepads are welcome.
