Aiko's
Contemporary Modern Technique class is informed
by contemporary ballet and modern dance techniques, somatic and
release techniques, contact and improvisation. The class will encourage
students to find confidence and joy in their own creative and physical
potential while challenging them to find a greater range of expression
through dynamic physicality and specificity. Students will explore
new movement possibilities and work to increase their understanding
of momentum and weight. They will also play with being upside down
and right side up and moving in and out of the floor with ease.
Full-bodied phrases full of motion, oppositional tension, and weight
change will follow a simple warm-up that emphasizes clean technique
and articulation of the body. Be prepared for a work out!
$15/single class; 5 class card/$70 (good for any of Aiko’s
classes).
Private and semi-private lessons available.
Please contact Aiko at info@acorndance.org.
"I
always leave Aiko's class feeling exhilarated, like my whole body
was really worked and challenged. She’s very knowledgeable about
the body and alignment and is able to attend to each student and inspire
each of us to move beyond our comfort zone and expand our edges. And
I love Aiko's movement vocabulary -it feels wonderful in my body!"

"Never
been so tired and so happy. Aiko's movement is truly delicious - my body
just soaks it up. She
seamlessly weaves together detailed anatomical information with rich,
challenging and rewarding physical exercises. In Aiko's class, the learning
never stops.""
-John Dixon
