Michael Figueroa (Tuesday Ongoing)
Class consists of a warm-up involving floor work, weight shifts, and prompted improvisational passes across the floor. Each class ends with the practice of an improvisational score or the execution of a choreographed phrase. The class is designed to activate and develop intuitive/instinctual decision making skills in improvisation; improve memory of long movement phrases; and instill a desire to take risks, violently interrogate action, and make you sweat. |
Callie Chapman (Friday Ongoing)
Come and build your confidence in using technique off center (and possibly with momentum). This class is focused on pushing boundaries of existing modalities of ballet, traditional modern, and contemporary styles carving the space with integrity and grit. Intermediate and advance level dancers with training in ballet, modern, and/or contemporary are encouraged to attend. |
Irene Hsi (On Hiatus Until Further Notice)
My teaching interest lies in examining what practices prepare us to create dance and/or movement-based performance. Each class we will begin with connecting to our bodies’ scaffolding, the skeleton, continue through neuromuscular training patterns to awaken muscles, and then I will provide composed dance sequences and improvisational propositions for participants to experiment with. You may recognize some class material from contemporary/post-modern/ballet/yoga traditions. By the end of class, my hope is for participants to expand their expressive range and become more intuitive dancers. |

Sam Govoni (Thur Sept 6 + 13 and Wed Sept 19)
ABOUT SAM’S CLASS: We will explore limitations both mentally and physically, all while asking you to discover how you move as an individual. Class is where we can allow ourselves to make mistakes, take risks, fall, be silly, and explore, so even though class will be catered toward professionals all levels are welcome to come into the studio and play! ABOUT SAM: Sam Govoni received her early training from the Boston Ballet School and Boston Youth Moves, including summer sessions at North Carolina Dance Theatre, Boston Ballet, and Providence Ballet. Sam graduated from The Boston Conservatory with a B.F.A. in Performing Arts, where she performed works by Jose Limon, Alwin Nikolais, Paul Taylor, Doug Varone, Larry Keigwin, and Peter Dimuro. Her international training includes classes and workshops in Belgium, Austria, The Netherlands, and Macedonia. In the summer of 2014 Samantha also took part in the Reggie Wilson Residency at the Institute of Contemporary Art Boston. As a freelance dancer, Samantha has performed with various New England based companies including but not limited to Kat Nasti Dance, Vimoksha, The Urban Nutcracker, Dance Currents Inc., dSundanceX, and Jessie Jeanne & Dancers. Samantha currently resides in Brussels, Belgium. |
Ronnie Thomas (Thursdays, Sept 27-Nov 1)
ABOUT RONNIE'S CLASS: Mystique-ology formulates a movement vocabulary that fuses Classical technique, Voguing, House dance, and Body2Body acrobatic balancing. It broadens the minds of dancers to push their instruments beyond their level of comfort, transforming them to engage with a profound range of motion to achieve a diverse dancer and versatile performer. ABOUT RONNIE: Ronnie Terrell Thomas is an alum of Boston Arts Academy and has performed professionally with contemporary companies such as Anna Myer & Dancers and Continuum Dance, aerial dance companies such as The Hybrid Movement Company, Vance Garrett Productions and Rudy Benda Productions, breakdance with the NYC Tranzformerz Breakdance Crew, and with ballet companies such as José Mateo Ballet Theater and Teatrul De Balet Sibiu (Romania).
