OUR CLASSES

Levels I + II

The Martha Graham Technique is based on the core power of Graham’s signature contraction and release. The Technique promotes strength, stamina, and self-expression and serves as a foundation for excellence in many styles of dance.

Ballet training at the Graham School is adapted for individual student abilities. Classes are structured to enhance and support the study of the Martha Graham Technique.

Classes build upon Graham Technique and encourage dancers to explore the connections between this class approach and post-modern styles.

Session 1: July 3 – 14, 2023
Session 2: July 17 – 28, 2023

Repertory introduces students to Graham’s classic choreography to gain a deeper understanding of her expressive style as well as practice in valuable performance techniques.

Session 1: July 3 – 14, 2023
Session 2: July 17 – 28, 2023

This exploration of dance-making guides students in creating movement phrases, discovering their own artistic voice, and developing a personal toolbox of choreographic techniques using Graham repertory as a source of inspiration.

Each Friday, students enrolled in Package B will engage in enrichment masterclasses aimed to enhance their experience in the world of the performing arts and introduce them to a broad palette of techniques and genres. Programming includes special classes, conversations with professionals, and much more!
