Modern Dance Technique, release muscles and open joints

This class focuses on energy efficiency of the body in movement, how to leverage weight through the architecture of the bones and how to relax muscles and open joints in order to direct weight in space. The warm up will consist of floor movement exercises that open joints and leverage weight from the floor, move into and out of the floor, as well as utilize stillness and slowness to help awaken finer muscular control and release surface muscular effort to increase efficiency. Theses concepts are then applied to bigger movements across the floor and increased momentum into and out of the floor.
