Class with Margaret Jones
Friday March 24, 10am-noon
SUGGESTED DONATION $8 OR PAY WHAT YOU CAN
SpaceWorks Long Island City

Class description 
Class will utilize classical modern techniques to inform an experimental environment.  The class will typically begin with a warm up incorporating elements of Cunningham, Limon, and Release techniques to find a stabilized and grounded body.  The class will progress into improvisational techniques and/or phrase work.  This class is a safe space for dancers to speak out, push mental boundaries, and discover presence and joy within the movement.

Experience required for the participants 
Intermediate/advanced

Goal for the teacher
As a teacher/choreographer, I'm working on developing my movement into a language that is both distinct and malleable enough for the individual student to feel "at home" in.  

About Margaret
