Joe Alegado
Modern Technique

Modern Technique power and freedom of movement How to bring together the important elements of dance – the passion, the discipline and the fine-tuning of the body? ... A form of dancing guided by an animal instinct that brings these two together to create power and freedom of movement worthy of the animal kingdom. I will take students on a journey through my world of dance, and I want to transmit a sensation of earth. All I do reflects my aim to establish this relationship to the earth: coordination, rhythm, density of movement, choice of music and movement. Modern Composition a clear choreogrphic language Joe Alegado will take phrases from the two previous weeks of classes, developing a clear choreographic language in a short group work. He will intertwine those phrases with new movement material composed to the music with great sensitivity, an outstanding ability he is very well-known for. Using movement qualities of the dancers he will challenge them to integrate his technique and choreographic style with their individual movement and expressive sources. This class is considered an advanced class. The teacher will use the first day to evaluate each dancer to make sure the level is maintained. If a student is required to change to another class, it will be discussed and arranged in the initial class time.
