Contemporary Dance with oliver steele

LENGTH: 79 min. LEVEL: Advanced SPACE: Large

Oliver Steele's Contemporary Modern Dance Classes are specifically designed for:

•professional dancers who continuously seek to mature their craft

•aspiring professional dancers who seek to grow their craft

•warm up and adequate preparation for rehearsal

Class begins with meditative calm. A series of soft repetitive movements will allow the dancers to gently warm up as they find the connection to the floor. These movements consider natural physical placement and never compromise the safety of the body. They also aid in locating the center and cultivating the proper use of gravity. Their designs are strongly supported with Modern and Classical Technique. Synchronously they both guide dancers in the discovery of Bilateral, Circular and Multi Dimensional Off-Center as well as Moving Through Center. Mr. Steele's choreographic phrases range from intense and expressive to athletic or fluid and always musical while their composition will surprise in every aspect imaginable. The final goal is to achieve and then maintain high quality movement with clear intent while inviting the confidence of self implementing one's ability, creativity, and knowledge into the choreography. "When studying with me always remember that there are two teachers in the room. I am teacher number two” :)
