Contemporary Technique and Repertory
at Shawl-Anderson Dance CenterJoin award-winning choreographer Sarah Bush for a six-week class series that dives into Sarah’s expressive style of contemporary dance which draws from Modern Dance as well as Hip-Hop and Liturgical Dance. In this workshop, Sarah (and SBDP Assistant Director Rose Huey) will teach sections of choreography from the company’s upcoming world premiere, Spirit & Bones, with a focus on technical skills, performance quality and emotional expression.
Using creative exercises that Sarah uses with her company to create a new work, dancers will explore connection and storytelling. Participants will be encouraged to push themselves safely to increase their physical ability and to heighten their sense of musicality and emotional resonance to more effectively communicate and connect with audiences. This class is designed for intermediate/advanced level dancers and will culminate in an informal showing on Oct 15th. $120/series

“I’ve been on & off searching for a dance class & a teacher that I really connect to for years now…. and I must say that [Sarah’s] is the best I’ve come across in a long time. [Her] style of teaching really matches what I need right now, both physically, creatively & spiritually.”
