Minute Masterclass Episode 52

Welcome to your one-minute masterclass. I’m Andrea Trench, founder of DiscoverDance. ENERGY is the seventh concept we explore in the DiscoverDance Program. When we explore the concept of ENERGY we discover that there are different qualities of movement. This creates a diverse movement vocabulary and sets the foundation for understanding the importance of dynamics in our movement execution. Our storytelling skills expand as we introduce SMOOTH and SHARP ENERGY into our movement…all while continuing to develop the vocabulary we started to build while exploring the previous concepts. We discover how SHARP and SMOOTH those movements can be. This assists in growing our creative thinking and problem solving skills. You can incorporate the concept of ENERGY into your classes with the song Staccato Legato by Kerri Lynn Nichols. To enrich the experience and reach multiple learning styles add scarves to the exploration. For more information, visit DiscoverDance.com.
