Open Company Class | 4-5:15pm

Service Description

We are now opening our ususal wednesday company rehearsal time as open community class. Join company dancers and a rotating cast of instructors for warm-up, technical exercises, and choreography (be part of the creative process as we craft new work for upcoming shows!). Dancers of any level are welcome to join us - our commitment is to bringing movement opportunities to the community and our instructors can adapt the pace and instructions so anyone can participate. Wear comfortable clothes and your choice of socks, bare feet, or clean dance shoes. Claire's classes are a very "grounded" blend of Limon/Bartenief modern and contemporary. Read "grounded" literally - there's a lot of focus on floorwork. Claire is a master of helping dancers develop body awareness and break down movements that once felt complex - yes, you can do this! Manda(Mo)'s classes have a strong jazz/funk focus. Warm up with isolations and classic jazz exercises before moving on to expressive, dramatic phrases to work on performance skills. You'll be "on your leg" and leveling up your showmanship in these sessions. April's classes are influenced by her years in Luigi-style contemporary jazz training and many more years at the ballet barre. She teaches movement through the lense of physics and body mechanics (but no scary terminology, we're talking about the "underbutt" and the "wing muscles", beginners are warmly welcome) **Our booking policy states please arrive 5-15 minutes before class so you may arrive as early as 3:45 for class but we will begin at 4:00 and that is the cutoff for attendence so we can give you access to the building** Class Pricing: All of our drop in classes are offered on a sliding scale basis. You may pick your price from $5-20 (no questions asked). 5 or 10 Class Packages can be redeemed for any class we offer. We prefer booking online but if you want to pay via Paypal or Venmo please make sure to text 971-258-0252 before class to ensure there is space available before you show up in studio. The building is locked! If you are dropping in please TEXT us at ‪(971) 258-0252‬ and we will come let you in at the door on Oak St. Be sure to show up 5-15 minutes before class starts or we may not be able to come and let you in.
