D ELVE
How do we move through space?
We move beyond our stationary base. We honor tradition, but we challenge the norm when it comes to warming up our bodies. We make our own rules. 

I NVITE
Every choreographed moment should have intention. Intention is what connects movement and audience. How your spirit feels throughout the session is important and the way you use your eyes/head focus/wrists and hands . . . all make a difference. Invite the audience into your personal story. 

P LAY
Utilizing both therapeutic improv, intuitive improv prompts & also reminded of Forthsythe Improv technologies. 

R ESPOND
Having good musicality is a skill. To be able to hear the subtle nuances in music takes patience and truly listening. Its not about if you're 'on the count,' it's about the quality in how you express that musical moment. 

"I felt engaged and supported, I was able to listen to my body and get it centered."
​(Greg Blackmon, former Complexions Contemporary Ballet dancer) 

DIPR contemporary barre will . . .

• thoroughly warm up your spine
• allow you to initiate movement from your breath
• challenge you to go from barre to floor and vice versa
• create sequences that will explore another realm of the classic ballet barre

Lastly, like in a classic ballet barre . . . can you take what you learned at the barre and follow it up in center?
