CLASS DESCRIPTIONS

Advanced Contemporary Floorwork

AJ’s advanced class focuses on deepening your relationship to the floor by exploring complex pathways, workshopping rigorous inversions and skills, and building strength through efficiency. Class begins with a dynamic warm up establishing themes, your connection to the floor, and preparing the muscles for an extensive practice. The structure progresses into a constant flow of movement across the floor, creating fluidity within your body and the space around us. Class culminates to a final phrase, challenging your edge and incorporating themes and skills from previous exercises throughout the practice. This is a safe space for you to experiment, play, and make mistakes! While advanced class moves at a swift pace and is recommended for movers with ample contemporary experience, all dancers are encouraged to make modifications when necessary.

AJ’s floorwork approach draws on her experience in contemporary styles, piso movil, release technique, and 14 years of personal movement research.
