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
JUNE 24 | 5-7pm | Stomping Ground LA
Sliding Scale, Suggested $10-$20
Contempo Fancy Frolic is a contemporary class focused on luscious phrasework, covering space, tapping into joy, and engaging with task above outcome. Expect Jazzy footwork, floaty turns, medium jumps, quick direction changes, complex weight shifts, and a groovy-breezy vibe. Deeply informed by my engagement in Countertechnique, 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.
Level: Advanced leaning, but all are welcome.
Footwear: Bare feet are recommended
Influences: Contemporary, Jazz, Ballet, House
Class structure: Warm up that starts super gently and amps up. Across the floor that builds pathways and coordinations for our combo, and lastly, combo time!

I designed this class to answer my craving for joyous expression, community, and whimsy :)
