  Jesse Keller: Contemporary Modern
  Resident Director of Island Programs and Education Jesse Keller draws from various dance techniques that include: contemporary, modern-jazz, ballet, and yoga; that have inspired her throughout her dance career. Class starts with a pre warm-up in the center which is inspired from Bartenieff Fundamentals and yoga, in order to loosen the body and prepare it for a contemporary ballet barre. The barre helps you discover your standing leg through classical movements with a contemporary twist on the upper body. This prepares the body for center which consist of across the floor and learning a piece of set choreography. Dancers are encouraged to challenge their technique with accuracy and precision, but invited to discover their own unique identity in the movement.
