Technique Modern
Technique Modern classes are offered in sequential Level-Based Classes with a curriculum from a variety of traditional Modern dance techniques such as Martha Graham, May O’Donnell, Paul Taylor and Alvin Ailey. The Modern curriculum will develop a strong dancer with a clear understanding and diverse modern vocabulary, body alignment, articulation of the spine, strength in floor work, flexibility and a confidence in their own relationship with movement.
