$5 Drop-in Rate
Margi's technique class is designed to emphasize conditioning, coordination, alignment, clarity, rhythm and artistry. All of this is best achieved through and with honest effort. Informed by her training in classical ballet, Limon, Cunningham, Graham and release based technique that she calls the “Margi Style”. Class starts on the floor and continues with exercises standing and moving across the floor. The class is designed around an infrastructure of principles that include articulation of the spine, finding the supporting leg, dropping your weight, changing direction, falling through space and efficiently moving in and out of the floor. These ideas are then further supported by the use of mixed rhythms, strong imagery and a desire to find the spaces in between really specific forms, which is where the real “dancing” is happening.

Calling all modern dancers who want to hone their skill, expand their creativity, and go on an artistic adventure! During this week we will explore modern dance technique, have a short ballet class and work on creating choreography every single day! Our biggest excitement about this week, however, is that we will be taking our creative endeavors out into the sculpture gardens of Chattanooga to do site specific work or using time in the studio to look at prominent choreographers who are diverse in many ways! It's an exciting time to be a young dancer and we want you to be enthusiastic explorers in a field we are very passionate about. Come explore, create, and have fun with us!
