Class Notes:
Dance majors
Class Description:
This is the fourth of eight levels of modern dance technique offered in the University of Minnesota Dance Program. Class work is based on alignment influenced by the Alexander Technique and the Klein Technique, free use of breath, concrete hands-on instruction in yielding the plie into the ground, healthy use of turn-out, articulation of bones and joints, clarity of physical and visual focus, efficiency and power of movement. The ultimate goal of this class is for dancers to fly through the space and across the ground with ease, availability and power. Class consists of in-place warm-ups, specific technical exercises, and dance phrases applying the technique addressed. All classes are accompanied by live music. Friday classes involve work focused on enhancing the student's understanding of experiential anatomy and internal awareness. Active rest, body mapping, improvisation and Authentic Movement are used as tools to this end.
