By the end of the course, dancers will be acquainted with the basic components of the tribal fusion movement vocabulary, and will also have some practice integrating them into combinations. This class will involve yoga- and pilates-based conditioning, so come dressed to move and bring a bottle of water and a yoga mat.

Aimed at the dancer familiar with tribal fusion, this class is intended for students who have completed the Elemental Movement and Pure Drills courses, and are seeking to expand their range of movement in the tribal fusion vocabulary and gain a sense of how movements work together.
Over six weeks, we will put technique into practice–honing moves through drills designed to get you improvising and building combinations for dance. Each class will deal with a handful of moves and ideas in detail, and through these we will explore concepts essential to constructing one’s own choreography, such as musicality, transferring movement, and fluidity in improvisation.
Classes may be taken as a course, or on a drop-in basis, though there are ongoing projects within the course from week to week. This class will involve yoga- and pilates-based conditioning, so come dressed to move and bring a bottle of water and a yoga mat.
That’s all for now! I hope all is well with you, and if you need more information, get in touch!
