EveryBody Dances with Nicole von Arx

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 is titled Contemporary Forms and will be led by Nicole von Arx. 

Nicole von Arx offers a high-energy contemporary dance class that blends floor work, improvisation, partnering and her latest choreographic research. Designed to challenge both body and mind, this class invites advanced dancers to dive into their physical and emotional depths, with a focus on curiosity, function, and flow. The warm-up features dynamic exercises aimed at isolating, strengthening, aligning, and balancing the body, laying the groundwork for the rest of the class. This leads into intricate phrases and across-the-floor sequences, encouraging dancers to harness their body weight to regenerate energy. The class concludes with a rich, complex movement phrase, offering dancers an opportunity to immerse themselves in Nicole's distinctive movement vocabulary.
