EveryBody Dances @ Yale Schwarzman Center brings local and visiting dance artists to our Dance Studio to teach masterclasses in jazz, hip hop, salsa, modern, contemporary, precision dance and more! All community members are welcome. This week's class will be led by David Dorfman

Dorfman will teach his class titled "Moving with Momentum", focusing on modern and post-modern dance techniques.

Material will range in styles from release-based post-modern work connecting with the floor, to an eclectic standing modern class. 

Concepts for this class include: 

  • A weighted and grounded approach to movement
  • Harnessing the body's momentum and force - "throwing your weight around"
  • Varying approaches to physical contact and partnering
  • Emphasis on intent and focus
  • Compositional choices through improvisation

"We will have fun!" - David Dorfman
