MORPHOSES REHEARSAL – JESSICA LANG MAKES ME WANT TO DANCE AGAIN…
June 15, 2010 · Posted by Swan Lake Samba Girl ·
Tonight I was invited by the Guggenheim Works & Process peeps to a Morphoses rehearsal. Funny, I kept expecting Christopher Wheeldon to be there… but of course he wasn’t. This was really special because it was a first rehearsal; the dancers were just meeting the two choreographers whose work they’ll be performing in September in Martha’s Vineyard, and in October here in NY. I’ve never been to a rehearsal that early before – usually the choreographers don’t want an audience until the work is complete or nearly complete.
The two choreographers were Jessica Lang and Pontus Lidberg. They’ve each been commissioned ...

Creative Dance: What Moves Us?
May 28, 2010 · Posted by Malashock Dance Blog ·
“I would watch the children crawling across the floor like caterpillars or monkeys, or running and jumping and rolling. It seemed like they were playing, but I could see they were building their strength and agility, their courage and determination. But it was more than that. They were given time to figure things out on their own, to make mistakes, to pay attention and to learn from each other. I watched my son learn that something that seems impossible at first becomes possible with practice. And I watched how this changed his willingness to try new things outside of class ...

Everyone was excited to take class with our resident master, who encouraged students to explore the limits of tension and release in each phrase of movement. It was a fun way to finish this fantastic series!
We have had such a positive response from students, and so many suggestions for other master teachers/choreographers, that we ...

Today’s blog is written by John Malashock of Malashock Dance, the fourth teacher in our 4 Sundays in February Master Class Series. Join him for class this Sunday, February 28, 11 am - 1 pm at the Malashock Dance School.
Look at the top of this web page. It says, “Malashock Dance puts emotion in motion.” This was a slogan we came up with a long time ago and, while it is not untrue, I have found myself thinking about it a lot lately. I love the physical sensation of dance, but I have always preferred using it for a purpose. ...

Yesterday the studio was full of dancers sweating it out for the third class in our 4 Sundays in February Master Class Series! Jennifer Backhaus of Backhausdance gave a two-hour master class, teaching her technique and repertory. Watch this video of excerpts from the class:

The dancers seemed to agree that Jennifer’s class felt a bit more like familiar territory after last week’s master class with Bradley Michaud. But that doesn’t mean the class was easy! Jennifer challenged all of the students to dance with full awareness and expression.
Don’t miss the last in ...

When thinking about what to write for this blog I wondered why I have stayed with this art form for as long as I have. What about being a dancer and choreographer makes sense to my life and why am I so passionate about encouraging other people to explore it either as an active participant or as an audience member? I realized ...
