COUNTERTECHNIQUE CLASS DESCRIPTION
The Countertechnique® class is a contemporary dance technique class. It stretches,
coordinates and strengthens the body, making dancers sweat, build stamina and
really move.
The class starts with a recurring set of exercises, allowing dancers to investigate the
Countertechnique® principles in detail. The second half of the class consists of varied
components, working towards luscious movement combinations, and sometimes
including jumping at the end.
The Countertechnique® class results in dancers using more efficient energy, losing
their fear of taking risks and gaining speed in both level and directional changes.

Contempo Fancy Frolic
NOVEMBER 21 | | Stomping Ground LA
$15-$20
Contempo Fancy Frolic is a contemporary dance class focused on luscious phrasework, covering space, and tapping into joy. Expect Jazzy footwork, floaty turns, medium jumps, quick direction changes, complex weight shifts, and a groovy-breezy vibe. This class prioritizes action over shape, task over outcome, and maintaining kindness and respect to the body, always. The studio becomes a laboratory of play, exploring how we find honesty within choreographed steps, practice finding joy in rigor, and make sure we are rigorous in our practice of finding joy.
Footwear: Bare feet recommended; socks optional if you need them
Influences: Contemporary, Jazz, Ballet, House
Class structure:
- Warm up
- Across the floor

Technique and coordinations for our combo our prepared throughout the exercises, so no surprises for the body at the end :)
Level: Int/Adv in pacing and complexity. However, the space is open to anyone up to a challenge and who knows their body well enough to modify as needed
I designed this class to answer my craving for joyous expression, community, and whimsy :)
