Beginner Modern:
This beginning modern dance class is designed to introduce non-dancers or beginner dancers to finding movement and rhythm in their bodies in a nonjudgmental and fun way. Class consists of a gentle, slow warm-up, exploring movement principles, such as round and linear, fluid and percussive, expansive and isolated. The dance student is made aware of anatomy and muscular support systems and learns how to approach dance and movement in a practical and efficient way. The second half of the class focuses on developing step patterns and movement phrases that make use of the whole body as we move through space. This class also prepares students to advance to the next level. Isabel has taught beginner dancers and absolute beginners since 1995.

Intermediate/Advanced Modern:
This class takes takes the principles of the Beginner class to the next level. Isabel seeks to create movement based on knowledge of the individual body and strong technique rather than traditional dance vocabulary. She enjoys exploring different and unexpected ways to move. Much of her movement is off-center and uses breath and rebound, focusing on initiation and dynamic quality. The warm-up prepares the dancer to interpret and execute Isabel’s movement in an individual way. Beginning slowly standing in the center, dancers warm up spine and waist, focusing on pelvis placement, before introducing more complicated patterns that include range of motion, full body movement, direction changes and floor work. Isabel recognizes the Simonson Technique, the Muller Technique and the Pilates Method as strong influences. She believes firmly in artistic expression through the body and continues to explore movement and create work for her company, Isabel Gotzkowsky and Friends.
