Contemporary Dance Masterclass Taught by Keira Hart-Mendoza Saturday July 10th 11-1pm Joy of Motion Friendship Heights
Come melt into and out of the floor with Keira Hart-Mendoza of UpRooted
Dance. This contemporary dance masterclass will focus on sinuously
using the floor as the baseboard of all movements. We'll start with a
floor warm-up which will lead into more complex movement combinations
into and out of the floor. We'll not only focus on the up/down
movements into the floor, but we'll also use the floor to slide,
spiral, and skim across lengthwise. Movement exercises will focus on
initiation and connectivity. Keira is the artistic director of UpRooted
Dance, a DC based contemporary dance theater company. She has taught
dance classes at Arizona State University, James Madison University,
The University of Virginia, McGuffey Art Center in Charlottesville VA,
at Joy of Motion Dance Center in DC, and at the Mount Vernon Place
Theater and Dance Space in DC. Come join her for a fresh perspective on
contemporary dance.
