Loren Teaches Movement

Classes for Adults and Teens

Beginning Contemporary Modern Class

weekly TUESDAYS 7-8pm for Jan-Feb and April-June 2024
at Cardell Dance Studio in FAIRMOUNT at 1713 Melon Street, Philadelphia, PA 19130  

This unique Contemporary Modern dance class is both creative and somatic. Each class includes technical skills and creative opportunities. Imagery and anatomical cues propel our movement and understanding of our bodies. The movement vocabulary comes from teacher Loren Groenendaal’s choreographic interests connected to her work with Vervet Dance. The movement is contemporary with influences from Modern Dance, Release Technique, Bartenieff Fundamentals, Developmental Movement, Laban Movement Analysis, and sometimes Hip Hop and classical Balinese Dance. This class provides opportunities for understanding of your body, building coordination, harnessing your strength, moving more ease-fully, learning movement from others, and exploring one’s own movement signature and interests.
