GYROKINESIS® & GYROTONICS®

The Gyrokinesis Method is a movement method that addresses the entire body, opening energy pathways, stimulating the nervous system, increasing range of motion and creating functional strength through rhythmic, flowing movement sequences. It is an original and unique method, which coordinates movement, breath and mental focus.

The Gyrotonic Method is an original and unique movement system that addresses the entire person by opening energy pathways, stimulating the nervous system, increasing range of motion, and improving strength and movement efficiency.

Fusion Dance

In this fusion class we explore aesthetics, techniques, and movement influences from the Middle East and North Africa, Central Asia, and India alongside contemporary dance and hip hop fundamentals. Movement will be taught in tandem with cultural context. Class focuses on isolations, sequential undulation, footwork, hits, pops, turns and arm ornamentations that will support an array of movement possibilities. This class develops versatility, flexibility, coordination, stage presence, and musicality.

Contemporary Floorwork

This class explores a combination of Bartenieff fundamentals, Yoga, locomotion patterns, Release technique, and Contemporary dance as I learned it from my teachers and inspirations Marlo Fisken, Eric Fenn, Liav Memada, Claudia Lavista, and Tom Weksler. We will place emphasis on weight, momentum, and release through phrase work, floor work, improvisation, and choreography.
