Kelley Donovan & Dancers will be holding Creative Modern Dance classes for adults starting November 7th on Thursdays and Saturdays.  Creative Modern Dance is an introductory level dance class blending dance technique and the fundamentals of choreography in a spirit of creativity, collaboration and play.  Classes will be held on Saturdays at 2pm and Thursdays at 7pm and 8 pm at Moving Body Resources on West 27th Street in Manhattan. Pre-registration required.

This class is for adult dancers with a little or no experience and is a great place to start if you are coming back to dance or trying it for the first time. Attention will be paid to developing strength, flexibility, balance, coordination, posture, expression in movement.  The class focuses on a deep understanding of the body and incorporates ideas from Limon, Cunningham and Release techniques. 

The class will move through a warm up that builds strength and clarifies alignment principals followed by fluid phrases with an emphasis on performance quality, focus and presence.  Participants will get a chance to create collaboratively and learn how to develop movement structures and invent dance that explores the basic elements of space, time and force.  Price: $80 total (5 week session) $95 for six weeks  Pre-registration required.  To register, call 781-420-3893 or e-mail kddcompany@yahoo.com.
