Come and join the dance! In this all-level class, we begin with release technique stretches, a short walking improv, then a few simple barre exercises. We learn a dance that we add to each week, so weekly attendance is recommended. We modify the movements to suit individual participants, and we also do guided improvisational work.
Everyone is welcome—beginner to experienced and everyone in between. 18 years or older.
Modern Dance Series celebrates our bodies, movement, rhythm, music, and interrelationships in one of the most beautiful dance spaces in New York State! Mixing many different modern dance styles and techniques, the classes reawaken your inner dancer in a safe and joyful environment!
Please wear comfortable clothes, sweatpants or leggings; barefoot or ballet slippers/soft dance shoes, if you prefer.
About the teacher:
Margaret Hallisey began studying Irish step dancing at the age of 8 and at 15 won the North American Championship. She studied modern dance with Viola Farber and other teachers at Sarah Lawrence College, then worked as a modern dancer and choreographer in New York City before turning to acupuncture.
This class is an open invitation to all to join in the dance, as Margaret returns to her first great love.
