This masterclass is recommended for intermediate to advanced dancers, high school ages and up.

Dunham Contemporary Jazz with Candice Michelle Franklin will explore Katherine Dunham's technique and aesthetic, influence, and contribution to the progression of Jazz dance. This high-energy class will explore Dunham's movement vocabulary and traditional modern Jazz motifs used in Jazz dance to ultimately create a concert Jazz movement combination. The lesson will include a review of classic Dunham positions, her movement, and isolations, followed by lively, Dunham-inspired Jazz progressions and a final combo. This class features live accompaniment by the master percussionist, Philip Hamilton!
