DOWN BY SPIRAL

Milan Herich leads a very physical and playful technique class that challenges the individual and coordinates the collective group. Through repetition the class will build kills and awareness to move with speed and efficiency.  The aim is to alternate between arches and spirals of the body in all directions one can imagine.  The class starts with exercises in which we will work on using the range of the body to discover different movement possibilities,  and develops into sequences based on the exercises.  A full body warm up will begin on the floor and continue through sitting and squatting material. We then continue by walking, running and spiraling, as well as perform phrases that focus on moving the dancer across, around and in and out of the floor.
