Class Description:
Jamie’s classes are a hybrid of her own innovative movement vocabulary. Beginning with a thorough warm-up focusing on the upper body, the back, core and all the ingredients needed to fully engage the body and prepare for the dance she creates. The class is an opportunity for the dancer to learn movement phrases that blend musicality, passion, and Nichols’ powerful technique threaded seamlessly into a very special experience.

The METHOD Technique
The Class is a sustained and intense yoga based warm-up focusing on building strength and proper alignment coupled with a fast-paced and challenging company class utilizing the fundamentals of method technique and teaching phrase material ripped from the latest method repertoire. all levels welcome!!!
METHOD synthesizes athleticism with subtly nuanced sensuality creating a unique language for motion and momentum. The class trains dancers to have liberated, fearless and articulate bodies, so they can engage extreme physicalities.
METHOD makes liberal use of the floor as a launch pad for explorations of flight, a landing pad, and a duet partner; playing with gravity, both overcoming it and succumbing to it, as well as using the weight of the upper body and the propulsion of the legs to carve the space and exist in the off-center environment.
Requirements
A willingness to work hard building strength and engaging in risk-taking, virtuosic athleticism, and rigorous physical work. The warm-up involves accessing breath, yoga poses, and lots of core work (back extensions, abdominal exercises), focusing on proper mechanical alignment for accessing muscular power and attack.
Please bring kneepads to class as there is floor work.
