Vermont Dance Alliance APRIL SATURDAY ONLINE SERIES: With CYNDAL ELLIS
Lift Your Spirit with Dunham Technique
Saturday April 4th, 10-11am
Dunham Technique is based on the work of dance pioneer, anthropologist, choreographer, and social activist Katherine Dunham. As a practice, it is a holistic approach to dance that uplifts body, mind, and spirit. The movement vocabulary fuses modern and Caribbean folk dance, with Haitian traditions at its core. We will start the class focusing inward with deep breath work, arms, isolations, undulations, and spinal contractions. From this rooted place, we will then expand outward with rhythmic, heart pumping Dunham vocab. and folkloric fusion modified to fit safely in your home. The class is intended for adults or teens with some experience in dance or related movement practices. Children are welcome to participate alongside parents.
All participants will join via Zoom, hosted by Vermont Dance Alliance. VDA will offer an optional pre-class hangout/warm up on your own from 9:45-10am, and an optional post-class hangout/cool down on your own from 11-11:15. The class is free for anyone to join, with the option to make a donation to Vermont Dance Alliance, to help support this organization during this time. vermontdance.org/support
