Tap* improvisation
​with
Sandra Kluge
Monday October 15, 2018, 6:30-8pm
SUGGESTED DONATION $8 OR PAY WHAT YOU CAN
Brooklyn Arts Exchange

My class will be a tap dance improvisation class. I will teach within the context of tap dance, but the content of the class can be transferred to any other dance style as well.

Experience required of participants: basic tap dance skills

Goals for participants: exploring their creative voice within the frame of improvisation, addressing fears and inhibitions and finding new approaches to improvisation

Goals for myself: creating classes that expand the limits of one particular style. Teaching art/artistry rather than simple technique.

*SHOES: You can bring no shoes, dance sneakers, jazz shoes or, if you have them, tap shoes. But tap shoes will only be used in one part of the class over a board.
