We’re excited to announce that Jane Alison McKinney will instruct two GWDC contemporary dance classes in early June:
- Thursday, June 9 at 10-11:30am
- Friday, June 10 at 10-11:30am
Her contemporary technique class will consist of dynamic floorwork, centre work and the practice of traveling with a sense of flying. Discovering individual artistic and physical capabilities, we will shift from learning set combinations as well as improvisational tasks and systems.
