Class Descriptions
Class will begin with a Horton and ballet-based warm-up designed to enhance technique, strength, and alignment. Working across the floor, dancers will learn to more effectively take up space, move with conviction, and instill clarity into their movement. Phrase work will focus on musicality and freedom of movement while maintaining strong technique, all offered in a supportive and positive environment. Eric encourages taking risks, both physical and emotional, to further develop individual style. Dancers will be encouraged to let go of expectations and judgment, allowing their artistry to be their voice.
