"Fields on the 4th Floor" by Sara WookeyPhoto by: Sergio Gridelli

Technique Class with Sara WookeyTuesday, January 23rd, 2007
7.30-9.00 pm
Katnap Dance Center12932 Venice Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90066(310) 306-7069
www.katnapdancecenter.com
Class descriptionThis class consists of a series of repetitive movement phrases that
move across the floor. We start with walking. The walking leads to
running and from there into more complex movement patterns. These
patterns engage one's use of space, time and weight in a logical,
anatomical approach. This class has been developed after years of
research and teaching and is informed by several sources: the work of
MinTinaka's Body Weather Laboratory, yoga, modern dance technique and
ethnic dance forms such as African and Egyptian dance. It is a class
that offers a rigorous training for experienced dancers at the same
time is organic and logical in its structure for the beginner.

• American Ballet Intensives announces its upcoming workshop at The Studios of Ballet Pacifica Irvine, CA April 9 to April 14, 2007.

American Ballet Intensives is an intensive ballet workshop providing serious students the opportunity to study with professionals in the field. The benefits are numerous and include: a customizable program to fit each individual school, an ideal format for younger dancers preparing for their first summer intensive, or for advanced dancers seeking a "pre-summer brush-up" for their technique, small class sizes to facilitate individual attention, live piano accompaniment, and the prestigious world-class faculty of Warren Conover, Melissa Hale Coyle, Steven Hyde, Lorin Johnson, Charles Maple, Colleen O'Callaghan, Amy Rose, and Denise Warner-Limoli. Lawrence Pech, Alaine Haubert and Rory Foster
The faculty is dedicated to nurturing dancers in a caring and healthy environment that not only challenges the students but improves confidence, concentration, and overall strength and coordination.
The goal at ABI is to provide intensive instruction in a wide variety of dance classes in order to fine-tune, condition, and provide careful coaching for students in both the classical and contemporary repertoire of today's great ballet companies. All ballet technique, pointe, pas de deux and variations classes, as well as additional programs such as dance history or body conditioning classes, are taught by former members of major dance companies--professionals in the field who have an innate understanding of what it takes to succeed in today's world. Within this intensive program students not only improve markedly, but they are empowered, enriched and inspired by these world class instructors.
Whether students are interested in overall strengthening and knowledge of their craft or in preparing a variation for an up-and-coming competition, ABI gives young dancers the opportunity to gain rapid mastery and confidence in their dancing for an extra professional edge.
