- “Karen's class is energetic, fun, creative and athletic. I was physically doing things I thought I would never be able to do. She not only works technique but includes improv and character work as well. I love her class!”
Dance Class Information
This intermediate modern class, taught by Karen A. Fuhrman starts with a warm-up that is a combination of Horton, Pilates, Improv, Ballet, and basic stretch/strength vocabulary.
We'll then explore different combinations that promote core awareness, limb agility/power, and overall body coordination and balance. Improvisation and contact improvisation may also be a focus with the end combination.
Technical capability to pick up choreography efficiently while expressing your personal voice will always be encouraged and reinforced.
Our Modern class is about athletic physicality, thinking for yourself as an artist, syncopation awareness, feeling comfortable with gymnastic moves, and musicality.
Karen encourages challenging yourself, with a forgiving; yet critical eye that ultimately not only evolves the mover but most importantly; the artist.
