MODERN CLASSES
Modern classes at the Joan Harris Centre will introduce students to the Duncan, Graham and Horton techniques. The class itself will use elements of ballet, jazz and various forms of modern dance including influences of Paul Taylor, Twyla Tharp, and Alvin Ailey to create a contemporary class that is both artistically expressive and physically challenging. An emphasis on space awareness and body fluidity is a major part of the class. Students are encouraged to set free their artistic soul through self-expression and spontaneous movement while at the same time working on a concise and cohesive piece to be performed with their classmates.
