Description de la classe

This class is designed for strength and speed-building, introducing and drilling known and new movement patterns, finding groove, and getting sweaty. Warm up will include stretch, upper body strengthening, awakening the feet, arms, spine, and rib cage. Through a series of exercises on the floor, in the center and across the floor, we will acknowledge the weight of the body, both resting and moving through space, and find the natural or instinctual pathways and momentum that this weight creates. This class will include examples of 605′s movement vocabulary from past repertoire, as well as improvisation structures, combining techniques and styles found inside 605′s urban contemporary language. Participants will be exploring the body’s relationship with the floor, articulations and isolations of body parts at various levels, and discovering effective and safe ways to carry out large, athletic movements while maintaining raw and powerful execution.
