Winter & Spring 2020 Session

In all Duncan classes, dancers move through and integrate gaze, form, and feeling to express their dance. Each technique class will study the mythologies, inspirations, and improvisations around the Duncan steps and dances to build a life-long relationship with natural movement exploration. Classes will engage students’ minds, bodies, and spirits each week to build a personal connection to the technique’s movements and repertory throughout each session.

Winter, Spring, and Fall Technique Class Themes

Seasonally-themed youth dance classes that explore the human experience within the natural world. Students explore how the motions of water, wind, and trees inspire the natural movements of the human body while they learn to honor the dance within themselves and each other. All sessions dance the rejuvenating and flowing cycles of mother earth and patterns in nature. Themes of the winter include the Titans, Eros, fire, and the greeting of spring; themes of spring include Aphrodite, fairies, butterflies, and May Day; themes of the autumn include the changing of leaves, Persephone and Demeter, Apollo and Artemis, and the patience of acorns.
