SUMMARY:Modern 55+ (In-Person & Virtual) with Andy Taylor
DESCRIPTION:This class focuses on strengthening your body and increasing your movement confidence. As we age\, we lose muscle mass and worry about falling. For beginners\, flow / sequential movement are a challenge. In class we strengthen\, work on getting up from the floor and work on balance and building grey matter through challenging sequences. \nCost: $15.00 Single Class \nIN-PERSON REGISTRATION: Not Required\, Drop-Ins Welcome\nVIRTUAL CLASS REGISTRATION\nAccepted Payments: Cash\, Check\, Venmo\, PayPal\, Zelle \n\nWhat is the legacy of the genre/form/style you are teaching?\nI have worked on strengthening dancers and self-identified “non-dancers.” I love to find the best way to help people understand movement and how to accomplish transitions between movements. I have been cirtified in Better Brain & Balance as well as I have taught this class for over 18 years. \nWhat background\, training\, and or relationship do you have with this style/technique/class subject?\nAndy Taylor got her BFA in Dance from UMass Amherst. She has taught modern\, jazz\, and international folk dance for over 5 decades. She has certifications in Scottish Country dance\, Better Brain and Balance\, and Autism Dance Therapy\, and she has taught locally and nationally. Her training in modern dance includes Horton\, Limon\, Simonson Technique\, and Luigi Jazz. \nFinish this statement: I am passionate about teaching this style because…\n…All people can move and what we lack is confidence. Work on the basics of transfer of weight and following paths with arms and legs; we progress. Moving to music\, breathing through the anxiety\, having a supportive community are all parts of the whole which make us resilient and help us thrive. Expanding our movement vocabulary allows for more freedom inside and out. \nAccompanists\, Assistants\, or Regular Substitutes:\nFormer Instructor of Modern 55+ – Mahala Beams \nRegular Substitute – Nancy Murphy \n\nHow can students learn more about this offering?\nWebsite: www.andytaylordance.com \nContact Information\nContact:\nataydance@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Intermediate/Advanced Ballet
DESCRIPTION:Class begins with a thorough set of exercises at the barre that last from 30 to 45 minutes. Centre practice follows\, and may consist of a battement tendu exercise\, a battement jeté exercise\, a grand battement exercise\, small and/or large adage\, stationary turns\, traveling turns\, and petite and grand allegro enchaînement (small and big jumps). Classes are structured so that the dancer warms up their feet\, legs\, hips and upper body gradually. As class progresses there are more changes of weight and eventually\, sudden changes of direction. There is live music provided by a pianist\, that ranges from classical pieces to selections from ballet repertoire to improvisational contemporary music. \nCost: $20 Single Class | $15.00 barre | 5-class package $90.00 \nNO PRE-REGISTRATION REQUIRED\nAccepted Payments: Cash\, Check\, Venmo\, Zelle \nACCOMPANISTS: Diran Heller \n\nWhat is the legacy of the genre/form/style you are teaching?\nBallet originated in the Italian Renaissance courts around 1500 as large balls or spectacles that were performed by members of the royal court. The French king\, Louis XIV\, created the first academy and the positions\, steps\, and movements of the ballet were collected and codified. The spectacles began to be performed by artists that were trained in the academy\, originally as part of an opera\, and later as ballets that told a story through music\, mime\, and dance. Over the centuries ballet has influenced folk dance styles of many (mainly European) nations and\, more recently\, has been influenced by folk\, modern\, and contemporary forms of dance from all countries. \nWhat background\, training\, and or relationship do you have with this style/technique/class subject?\nI had a professional dance career that spanned twenty plus years and included company work in both ballet and contemporary companies followed by dancing\, choreographing\, and teaching as a freelance artist. I returned to school to complete a two-year dance teaching diploma program at Canada’s National Ballet School. I trained extensively in the Vaganova and Royal Academy of Dance ballet training methods and had exposure to the Cecchetti and Balanchine methods of training. The program also included studies in human anatomy\, kinesiology\, and conditioning for dancers. Since moving to Boston in 2001\, I have become a certified Gyrotonic© and Gyrokinesis© instructor and those practices contribute to the way that I teach ballet. \nFinish this statement: I am passionate about teaching this style because…\n…I find joy in seeing dancers caught up in the music and having a transformative experience\, in which the movements of each combination stop being exercises and become artistic expression through movement and gesture. \n\nContact Information\nContact:\ndeanv@me.com
