SADÉ ALLEYNE
Alleyne Dance
Intensive
Workshop:
Alleyne Dance Workshops are dynamic, physical, and enlightening as the company share their signature style of lyrical movement, exploring rhythm, musicality, stamina and intention. This is a physical Contemporary Class, which will involve strong, complex, and technical sequences in and out of the floor, focusing on quality, initiation, performance, and stamina. Each session will begin with a different aspect of movement study, focusing on the articulation of hands, isolations, spirals, breath and flying. Improvisation will also be explored as part of self-development, stemming from a physical intention.
