ABOUT THE CLASSES

The Countertechnique® class with Faith Balderrama is a contemporary dance technique class that stretches, coordinates and strengthens the body, making dancers build stamina and really move.The class starts with exercises that investigate Countertechnique® principles in detail. The second half of the class consists of varied components, working towards luscious movement combinations. The Countertechnique® class results in dancers using more efficient energy, losing fear of taking risks and gaining speed in both level and directional changes.

​

Haley Marcin is the lead of company training and uses principles from Safety Release Technique to inform her classes. She aims to help dancers find more freedom, space, and length in their bodies while moving in and out of the floor with ease and efficiency. Her classes include expansive, shape-shifting material packed with embellishment and joy.
