She/Her/Hers

About:

More than 30 years of dance training in different disciplines: Modern with Julie Ince Thomson and Bryan Steele, jazz with Jeannette Neil and Andy Taylor, ballet with Anna Myer and Liz Lapuh, swing and social dance with Jana Buchholz, Ron Gursky, and Nancy Murphy. I have performed in Modern/Jazz and Modern repertory pieces at the Dance Complex and Jeannette Neil Studio for Andy Taylor and Bryan Steele, and currently perform with Helena Froelich’s liturgical dance group Creation Dance. I am also a certified yoga instructor who has taught in the Boston area for more than 12 years.

I am passionate about teaching this style because…I am passionate about dance, period! The chance to share that feeling with my students is a privilege.

Modern 55+ with Ellen Pigott

Wednesday 10:30-12:00p

Studio 2

 

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

I don’t focus on any one style. My intention is to engage students of varying dance backgrounds and experience levels. The class warmup and choreography incorporate Modern technique with yoga stretches and a dash of Broadway jazz and social dance.

 

What can students expect from this class?

A fun and friendly opportunity to gain strength, flexibility, and dance skills week by week. Class includes a thorough warmup in preparation for the dance movements to come, with modifications offered to accommodate physical limitations.
