Ginger's class is a forum of physical and creative exploration. She applies her knowledge of anatomy and kinesiology in structuring her warm-up with a series of exercises derived from ballet, jazz and modern. Dancers build strong bodies and gain greater kinesthetic awareness about technique and movement.
Her athletic, contemporary style of choreography pushes past a conventional dance vocabulary and inspires dancers to explore their physical, technical and emotional realm. Ginger choreographs a variety of jazz styles: contemporary, lyrical, commercial, theatrical and traditional jazz. Whether using classical, pop, rock or experimental music, the combinations emphasize the relationship between the body in motion and the spirit of self-expression.
Class work consists of a series of exercises using weight exchange, balance, contractions, working off center, and core work, all emphasizing technique, stretching and conditioning. Across the floor is a series of challenging transitional and directional work. It supports the work in the combination and focuses on agility, turns, jumps, and style. Each progression has a specific intention and puts technique into action.
Whether Ginger's students are professionals, fellow teachers, or aspiring young dancers, she strives to address each dancer's needs at every level. Ginger creates a supportive atmosphere where dancers can discover their creative processes while trying something different. |
