This program offers celebratory explorations of relationship to: classical music; peers; the ancestral community; and the natural world. The “Mother of Modern Dance,” Duncan sought movements expressive of the human spirit; her technique: 1) glorifies natural movement; 2) sources rhythmic and emotional links fundamental to all life forms; and 3)traces dance to its sacred roots using mythological archetypes and ritual. Duncan Dance classes for teens (age 12+) and adults, offer a non-competitive environment designed to encourage and sustain healthy emotional, creative, and physical relationships.

Self-esteem, grace, reverence, reciprocity and artistry are inherent to the work. A sense of rhythm and harmony develops as students dance the reconstructed choreographies to the music of Schubert, Chopin, Brahms, Beethoven, and Mozart.
