Class always begins with an intro circle before moving into an in-depth warm-up. We’ll explore guided improvisation, set exercises for to engage our full body from head to toe, getting our creative juices flowing through partnered exercises, and maybe even get to some choreography. Angie’s teaching features abundant vocal stims, vibrant and visceral cues/prompts, honest praise, and vocalized consent for touch within class.

What is the legacy of the genre/form/style you are teaching?

While each of the Click teachers lead a different class, at our core we are deeply rooted in post-modern/contemporary dance. Some of our instructors specialize in floorwork, some in release-based techniques, and others in improvisation and contact improv. Individual class descriptions can be found for each of our teaching artists on our website: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/classes-with-the-click-tickets-980389951737?aff=oddtdtcreator

What background, training, and or relationship do you have with this style/technique/class subject?

Angelina Benitez graduated from Salem State University with a B.A in both Modern/Contemporary Dance and has since studied at Bates Dance Festival and continues to study with local Boston-based artists. Her choreography at Salem State was presented at Boston’s American College Dance Association Conference and earned her a Presidential Arts Scholarship and a Creativity Award in Dance. Angie has immersed herself in teaching dance in the Greater Boston area at local studios, schools, and residencies. Her recent performance experience includes local arts festivals and events such as Verse / Visual, 24 Hour ChoreoFest, Salem Arts Festival, Art Walk with Luminarium, and more. Much of her work is focused on collaboration. When she’s not teaching dance, you can find her working as a social media strategist, creating fiber art, and taking pole dance classes.

The Click is a collaborative group of professional dance artists living, making, teaching, and studying in the Greater Boston area. We are a group of professional contemporary dancers creating and presenting meaningful and accessible arts experiences. The Click offers Contemporary advanced/professional level contemporary classes as well as community-based classes taught by our founding members who have studied and taught contemporary dance and movement across the country and internationally. Our mission is to contribute to the consistent creation, performance, and growth of contemporary dance in both professional and educational spaces across Massachusetts.

Finish this statement: I am passionate about teaching this style because…

…Community Contemporary is rooted in The Click’s mission to redefine rigor. Yes: dance can be highly technical and physically demanding. And yes: art can be very intellectual and nuanced. But most importantly: contemporary forms can be all of this, and more… and we can have FUN while we explore all of it. That is the type of rigor we are looking for. Angie loves getting to teach this class because it embraces autonomy and connection through movement.
