Workshops for Dance Artists

Contemporary Dance Workshop
4:00-5:30 PM - First City School of Dance
The workshop will focus on the dancer’s connection to their centre of gravity and relationship with the floor. The class will begin with a warmup followed by movement phrases to explore moving in and out of the floor efficiently, shifting weight as well as utilize different support points on the ground. Movement quality will build from soft and fluid to powerful athleticism and travelling.
Led by Chantal Baudouin + Live accompaniment by Ian Gibson
