Class Description 

Horton Technique was developed by the American modern dancer and choreographer, Lester Horton. It was one of the primary modern dance techniques used in Alvin Ailey’s choreography on the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre.

Our Beginner class is an introduction to Lester Horton’s technique focused on building strength, dynamic movement quality and full body awareness. We work with a high energy introducing the exercises that make up the fundamentals of the technique and finish every class with a combination incorporating the elements learned in the class, inviting the dancers to challenge their technique while highlighting musicality and dynamics.

In our Improver class we will dive deeper into the technique and explore the signature codified studies called Fortifications and Preludes, created to strengthen and lengthen the body, and prepare dancers with the tools they need to be successful in their dance training.

 

Noa is also available for private lessons.
