This Contemporary Spotlight will focus on weight shifting as a foundational movement principle. Spotlight instructor Alek Hernandez studied modern dance techniques at the University of South Florida and brings a strong emphasis on using body weight to support balance, strength, and dynamic movement. The class will include center floor warmups, floor work, and a short, choreographed phrase that will be recorded in small groups. Students will leave with a stronger understanding of weight placement and how to use it to enhance performance quality, balance, and clarity in directional and level changes.
