Thomas Varvaro teaches a well rounded Contemporary Modern/Ballet fusion. The class draws inspired movement from Alvin Ailey, Martha Graham, and George Balanchine styles and ideologies. Further influence from Elisa Monte and Tiffany Rea Fisher. The class is truly contemporary modern as it covers a broad genre of movement styles combined into core driven, stamina based movement.
