Musicology

Musical Interpretation, Guided Freestyle, & Choreography Strategy

Sarah firmly believes that the most striking and engaging aspect of any routine is musicality, and that a performance is at it’s most captivating, when a dancer’s movements are a visual representation of the way the music makes them feel, and how it moves them.
This class is part theory/part practical, discussing how to break down a song, how to associate types of motion with different sounds, and ways to use subtle changes in your movement, to match and highlight accents in the music, breathing life and feeling into a routine or freestyle.
90 mins – All Levels.
Heels, socks, or legwarmers can be worn for this class, kneepads are advised.
