Modern Connections with Jenny Oliver

Modern Connections is a Horton based modern dance technique class taught at a pace designed for the students in the room. Class begins with sequential and consistent warm-up, continues with center phrases that are designed to promote competence and growth of proper technique. Students builds the necessary vocabulary and body awareness required for Flat Back, Lateral T, Pelvis Press, Tables, Release Swings and Spirals through proper corrections focused on alignment and detailed explanations of the initiation of movements. Modifications are given to dancers when needed to target the specific muscle groups without inviting injury. This is important for both new and seasoned dancers. A person does not need to have the goal of becoming a professional modern dancer to see real benefits from learning about their body through this technique.
