Dancewave brings talented artists with distinct voices to lead Master Classes in a wide range of techniques and styles. An opportunity to experience current directions in contemporary dance and broaden your skillset! This class with Douglas Gillespie will begin with mind-body centering and floor exercises to generate warmth and prepare for guided improvisation. Together, we will explore our individual stylization through short phrase material that will then be combined into a culminating phrase that delves into our focused performative qualities.
