Contemp with Spiral

with Lisa Long

Principles of Graham-based technique; contraction/release, spiral, and shift of weight fuse together in this class with fluidity in the torso, inversions, athletic floor work, balletic line, gestural specificity and boundless traveling to increase dancers’ strength and technical mastery while intensifying their kinesthetic awareness and artistry.
