Contemporary: Gravity & Grace

About the Class

Contemporary: Gravity and Grace with Sam K Step outside the traditional ballroom frame and discover a completely new way to move! Contemporary: Gravity and Grace with Sam K is the perfect class to help you “level up” your mind-body connection. Blending elements of modern, jazz, and lyrical dance, contemporary is all about breaking the rules, finding your flow, and expressing genuine emotion through movement. In this class, Sam K will guide you through the beautiful contrast of using the floor for grounded, athletic movements (gravity) while maintaining long, sweeping, and fluid lines (grace). Whether you want to improve your balance, increase your flexibility, or simply find a creative emotional release, this class offers a safe and supportive space to explore what your body can do. What you can expect in class: Floorwork Fundamentals: Learn how to safely and smoothly transition in and out of the floor, using gravity as your dance partner. Contract and Release: Master the core-driven breathing techniques that give contemporary dance its dynamic, powerful look. Fluid Transitions: Focus on continuous, seamless movement, linking steps together without rigid stops or starts. Expressive Storytelling: Level up mentally by connecting deeply with the music, learning how to convey feeling and atmosphere through your dancing. Wear comfortable clothing that allows for a full range of motion (socks, bare feet, or dance paws are recommended). No prior contemporary experience is needed!
