Event

Contemporary with Owen Leavey

In this five week course we will explore every nook and cranny of the expansive dance genre that we know as "contemporary dance". Within these five weeks we will dive into what this genre is really about and why it is such an important style in today's industry. Every class we will focus on a different style of contemporary dance. We will learn choreography, technique, and even discover some new things along the way. Any dancer can take this class no matter what genre you feel the most at home in. We will attack the structure and expressive qualities of this genre in a clear and concise way. So if you are open to discovery and lots of work, (while also having a lot of fun) this is the class for you.
