Class Descriptions

Contemporary Jazz

Teddy considers an artist's education to be a never-ending process both inside and outside the studio.  A focus on movement exploration and dance history are combined with the hopes to create a new wave of movement.

Classes are typically "contemporary" and improvisation based and require the dancers to not just think outside the box but imagine dancing in a world where no box exists at all.

Though Teddy's movement is informed by classical training it does not require any to accomplish it satisfactorily. Dancers will learn techniques that help them achieve the most with the facility they have. 

Movement Techniques

By way of improvisation and choreography, the goal of this class is to help dancers explore ideas that can enrich their movement quality and realm of kinesthetic understanding in all genres of dance.

By exploring the possibilities of our bodies, we can find all possibilities in our art form. Dancers of all training backgrounds are welcome, though classical technical vocabulary is used as a solid base of communication.

Class processes shift based on who is in the class, but typically will begin with a guided improvisational warmup, which leads into a full stretch and toning warm-up. From there, phrase work is taught and investigated in order to achieve the goals of class.

Some topics of investigation include: initiating the arms from the back, use of gravity, limb connection to the core, weight distribution of the feet on the floor, spine articulation, and many more.
