This contemporary-based movement class will begin with a playful guided improv during which movers can tune in to their body’s needs and creative whimsy. Next, we will explore momentum, release, and expansive limb use through both standing and floor technique exercises. Class will culminate with a joyful dance phrase, during which participants can take creative license and put their own spin on the material. Beginner-friendly options and accommodations will be available for most of the material explored. Come ready to sweat and smile!

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

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.
