Study the original modern technique, created by Isadora Duncan, the mother of modern dance. Known for its natural movements, musicality, range of artistry and personal expression, this dance form is perfect for dancers of all levels who wish to move from a place of intelligence and beauty. Each class includes a natural body warm-up, traditional Duncan exercises and barre, across the floor movements, structured improvisation and segments of historical repertory.
This is THE dance technique for the new conceptual age. Design. Story. Symphony. Empathy. Play. Meaning. Duncan Dance accesses, develops and reveals each of these critical elements of the new Conceptual Age we are entering as a society. Read the article.
All classes feature a rich curriculum of an opening invitation and creating a creative space, a theraputic warm-up to prepare the body, Duncan floor and standing work, traditional Duncan barre, across-the-floor locomotive exercises, improvisation and segments of Duncan repertory. Students will enjoy the presentation of Isadora philosophy, history, writings and art influences as an integral part of the dancing experience.
