Intermediate/Advanced Contemporary Workshop w/ Elena Martins

Elena Martins' workshop is geared towards the intermediate/advanced dancer. This workshop features a full-body warm-up focused on technique and strength training. The remainder of the workshop is dedicated to moving through space with fun yet challenging exercises across the floor, leading into phrase work. The choreography is driven by music rather than counts, allowing dancers to explore musicality, syncopation, and dynamic shifts. Elena’s style is a smooth, flowing, expansive, rhythmic, and groovy mix of contemporary, jazz, and ballet, often to the score of R&B/soul music. Students will enjoy a complete and enriching personal and collective dance experience.
