The Dancers' Studio
Classes with Therese Anne...
A typical class begins with a warm-up to bring fluidity into the torso and
arms, with gestures to express sentiments. The barre is used to
strengthen muscles in our legs. Moving through space in various
combination patterns of walking and running becomes an integration of
strength and power with fluidity and grace. Ultimately your body
becomes your instrument and you'll dance with full expression of
yourself.
The heart of the class are the dances we learn. These may be from the
large repertory of solos, duets, and group dances Isadora created or may
be a Therese Anne original composition.
Part of the fun and fulfillment is finding yourself dancing within the
framework of the music.
There are frequent studio presentations and performing is encouraged
but not required. Private sessions are recommended for those who need
more depth in their learning process.
Classes are held in a large, sunny light-filled studio. The studio is also
available for "Salon Performances".
