In this dance composition class, participants engage in the creative process of crafting original dance pieces by developing choreographic skills and exploring elements such as movement dynamics, spatial arrangements, and thematic concepts. The class encourages individual expression and provides a platform for dancers to evolve as skilled and imaginative choreographers. Students must be enrolled in a ballet or modern technique class in order to take composition.

This modern dance class is informed by José Limón technique and Bartenieff Fundamentals, emphasizing the organic rhythms of fall and recovery, the play and contrast between gravity and suspension, and the use of breath and human gesture. Classes begin with a warm-up that integrates floorwork and standing center exercises, emphasizing the development of skills through correct technique, musicality, and spinal articulation, followed by moving across the floor with traveling sequences and the development of improvisation skills.

This is a structured classical ballet class designed to develop technique, strength, flexibility, and coordination with a focus on proper alignment and technique performed at the barre and the incorporation of fun traveling sequences across the floor.
