Cuban Modern Dance Technique | Mychal A. Bryan (18+)
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/div>\n
Thursday 6pm-7pm<\/strong>
\nThe Cuban modern dance technique is a codified movement language that was pioneered by Ramiro Guerra and further developed by Arnaldo Patterson in Havana, Cuba in the 1960s. While utilizing the Graham-based principles of contraction and release, the Cuban technique expands upon this through deep, sensual, and oceanic undulations of the spine and arms, a broad circular use of the pelvis, torso and head, and spiraling movement guided fully by the breath. This class will incorporate a strong full-body warm-up, phrases in the center, floorwork, and combinations across the floor. Dancers will learn the foundational elements of the Cuban technique so that they can express themselves more creatively and joyfully within each class. Each class will end with an adagio followed by a deep stretching sequence to ensure that dancers experience the full benefit of the class in a safe and intelligent way.<\/div>\n
