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

Moving to Connect is a contemporary approach to dance technique that draws from an eclectic blend of modern dance practices, Laban Movement Analysis/Bartenieff Fundamentals (LMA/BF), and other somatic modalities to find connectivity, fluidity, and dynamic expression in the body. Inspired by the work of Bill Evans, this technique class focuses on somatic concepts through improvisation and phrase work to find specificity in describing movement, embodiment, and whole body integration.
