Danceology Classes
Learning a variety of dance styles allows for versatility in how your body can translate movement and choreography. When you have a wider vocabulary to work from, your ability to comprehend and take ownership over your learning (be is dance or otherwise) enhances. All techniques serve each other.
Each dance style has its own vocabulary with its own unique nuances. In Jazz and Hip Hop, there is an emphasis on the isolation of different body parts, the groundedness of the body's weight, and on a rhythmic physicality. The focus on community is also an essential foundation of Hip Hop; in group environments, there is an element of call and response requiring intuitiveness and creative thinking. There is an emphasis on the body's relationship to space and to self and others in the many different techniques within Modern dance.
