Groove Class 100pxGroove Class with Claudia Fancello
Groove is a fun and energetic dance class mixing rhythm work and footwork to create a dancefloor feel. Fusing concepts found in House (and other, club dances), Hip Hop and Breakdance, this class explores the groove in all of us. Set to a soundtrack of bumping beats and soul music, we begin the class with a series of warm up movements and basic steps that flow into a short routine. Get ready to bop, slide and bounce (simply for the love of dancing). This class can be for all levels and ages.

Friday, April 18th 5pm - 6pm
Jill Dreaddy Danco Inc. Studio, 120 Lemarchant Road
Matija Ferlin ClassContemporary technique class with Matija Ferlin
Matija Ferlin's classes include Release Technique and Muscle Bone training. His classes begin with exercises sourced from Pilates work with the aim to strengthen the abdominals in order to release the rest. The class continues with floor work that includes exercises and combinations that focus on the isolation of different body parts and joints. Trying to organize the body through its own musicality and importing exercises from Muscle and Bone training, the work involves negotiating with stamina in order to introduce at the end of the class, a dynamic dance sequence that revisits the tools from the beginning of the class.
