CLASS DESCRIPTIONS
Victor Alexander teaches a modern technique class that is based on his African and Spanish roots and his career as a principal dancer for the Danza Contemporanea de
Cuba. Alexander elaborates his class with his personal experience and influences, training the body from the inside out to amplify corporal expression.
Jan Bartoszek focuses her class on embodiment and the exploration of imagery to shape dynamic movement. Her class emphasizes moving through space with
command and awareness. She applies principles of alignment, breath flow and the body's relationship with gravity to all movement. Bartoszek is a veteran dance
teacher who has taught at Northwestern University, the School of the Art Institute Chicago, the University of Chicago, Roosevelt University and a host of dance studios.
Michel Rodriguez teaches a class based on "low flying technique" developed by David Zambrano and other elements from modern dance and contact improvisation. The
class explores how to move and use the body on the floor. "I am a hammer, the floor is crystal and I cannot break it." Originally trained as gymnast, Rodriguez
performed and taught dance in Cuba and Spain.
