Led by Caitlin, this 26-minute class focuses on 'Artistry in Center,' challenging dancers to move beyond rote mechanics and embrace the lyrical flow of Mozart’s piano music. Throughout this session, you will learn a beautiful, intricate combination that emphasizes the delicate balance between tension and release.
Caitlin guides you through the nuances of port de bras and allongé, demonstrating how to use the upper body to create energy that resonates with the musical score. You will work on foundational yet complex sequences involving tendu, tombé, and pas de bourrée, ensuring that every transition is as fluid as the music itself.
