*NEW* Choreography for Zoom & Film ONLINE Class
Choreography for Zoom & Film ONLINE Class
Ages: 13+
Wednesdays, Jan 6- Mar 24 | 6-7pm
Tuition: $180
Instructor: Madeline Morser
Location: Online via Zoom
Parameters are the bread and butter of good choreography. Ironic though it may seem, our minds light up with possibilities once limitations are set. Choreographing for the camera or for a live Zoom performance provides endless limitations and therefore endless possibilities to be unlocked. This class will focus on bringing a list of choreographic tools and styles to life through the lens of a camera and/or a box on Zoom and similar platforms. The jungle of our homes, yards, parks, and beaches is in fact a choreographers best friend, but to a beginning choreographer it can look like a nightmare. The goal of this class is to shine a light on simple ways to play with, enjoy, and create within the world of social distancing.

Ballet 3 ONLINE Class
Mondays, Jan 4 - Mar 22 | 3:30-4:30 pm
Tuition: $180
Instructor: Madeline Morser
Location: Online via Zoom
This 12 week session of Ballet 3 (via Zoom) will focus heavily on proper alignment and placement. To achieve this via Zoom, class will focus on fewer barre exercises so as to spend more time on each one: exercises will be done once with the teacher, once without the teacher. Students’ full bodies should be in view during class so as to facilitate specific, individual corrections. Barre will be followed by a brief stretch and several non-traveling center exercises so as to accommodate small spaces. To emphasize a sense of progress and achievement, we will build a center adagio phrase to be added onto each week and hopefully filmed over Zoom for anyone interested at the end of the session!
