Drawing from a broad foundation of Modern, Post-Modern, Jazz, Classical Ballet and Africanist dance training, I teach technique classes that focus on connecting rhythm to technical mechanics. Fusing a highly energetic and physical vocabulary my classes are designed to increase kinesthetic and technical strength while expanding the dancer’s understanding of physical intelligence as defined by the ability to acquire and apply movement knowledge. Individuals are encouraged to develop a range of skills in instinctive and technical movement performance. “strong enough for a man, ph balanced for a woman.” Alex Abarca
