"RESPONSE: MOVE CLEARER" A Heels & Artistic Development Intensive w/ Gina Bahr
Updated: Nov 19, 2020
PAST EVENT / WORKSHOPWe asked Gina about her experiences teaching this intensive. Check out some of her responses below!
What were your initial thoughts as you completed this workshop? How do you feel as the instructor/host?
I honestly don't think it could have gone better! The students seemed very happy and I felt like I accomplished what I set out to do.
What did you do/teach differently in this workshop in comparison to your other classes?
In regular classes, I typically don't have time to touch on more abstract ideas regarding dance-which I think is an important dynamic for students to understand in order to become better artists and better dancers.
What was your most enjoyable moment?
My most enjoyable moment was watching the students fully embody their freestyle. On the second day, the students had reached a point of confidence where they were able to feel comfortable dancing and freestyling in their own skin as we went across the floor.
What are you hoping to share with your students who missed this experience?
I want all students to know that they are entitled to feeling empowered in their own body and empowered to express their own ideas through dance as well.

RESPONSE is a 2 day, 8hr intensive that is dedicated to honing technical skills and clarifying artistic intention. Over the course of the intensive, we will go over the basics of ballet, jazz, heels technique, and the fundamentals of freestyle. We will also focus on diversifying movement vocabulary and exploring where you move from as an artist. Technical skills are developed and honed as a means to foster and expand the dancers own unique style and creative expression not just as a dancer but as an artist. As intention is as important as technique--we will navigate how the two work together in order to develop your distinct movement style and expression.
