before the beginning

Janine Trinidad’s Dance Fundamentals Workshop is an 8-week introductory course designed to give an overview of basic principles in movement and modern dance. The workshop will cover exercises to prepare the dancer for floor-work, jumps, changes in direction and beginner turns, spatial awareness, balance and flexibility, performance presence, and improvisation. No prior dance training is required. The workshop is intended to provide a safe forum for experimentation, inquiry, and discovery of the dancing spirit and embodied energy in every individual. Questions are encouraged, an open mind necessary, and a good time inevitable!
