Andi’s Modern class is inspired by a mix of techniques including the Graham technique and Horton technique. After completing a full body warm up, Andi will introduce key techniques and introduce phrases that dancers will be given the opportunity to practice in the centre and across the floor. Class will conclude with a Modern combination where Andi puts her own spin on certain movements. Andi takes a dancer- centered approach and is happy to adapt and modify during class to ensure that all dancers are challenged while keeping their bodies safe.
