Fridays 4:00-5:15pm

Master guest dance artists will offer a technique class every Friday afternoon from 4:00-5:00pm at Gowanus Arts as part of this newest STH “Young Artists” offering where students will learn about modern dance history through their bodies, as well as through choreography in that style from the living, breathing, contemporary dance artists who still study and perform it.

Each “unit” will run 5 weeks, and is free to STH’s Young Artists Dance/Theater members. Outside dance students, teens and adults are also welcome to take this special technique class by the unit or register for the semester/year-long series. Additional units will include the dance technique and choreographic style of Martha Graham, Humphrey/Weidman, Jose Limon, Merce Cunningham, Judson Church, Twyla Tharp, Contact Improvisation, and Trisha Brown.
