More than Modern - Adult Dance Series

from $15.00

Express yourself through creative movement in a welcoming environment in downtown Frederick, Maryland.

Amanda has been embodying her emotions through Modern Dance (with lots of Graham and post-Modern inspiration) since she was a child, teaching on and off since 1997. Join her for a dance class custom-built for adults; we will focus on understanding our bodies, increasing our capacity for self-expression, and learning how to make movement interesting without relying on tricks, gimmicks, filters, or trends. Class is (re)introductory level, perfect for beginners and retired dancers who feel like beginners.

Saturdays 11am to Noon - Beginners/Technique:

  • A full body warm-up with light physical conditioning

  • Technical exercise(s) to improve fundamental skills

  • Brief sequences; explained slowly, repeated to gain mastery

Saturdays Noon to 1pm - Intermediate/Choreography:

  • Guided Improvisation for Warm-Up

  • Choreographed phrase(s) - about 32 counts

  • Longer sequences; focus on expression, performance, quality of movement

Payment:

  • Pay in advance to reserve your spot.

  • If there is room you may drop-in the day of class via cash, credit card, Venmo or PayPal.

  • $15/dancer for each 60-minute class, $20 to stay for 2-hours
