FLIGHT
Flight is the conservatory class dedicated to building artists that are strong in multiple styles of dance and ready to explore choreography which blends together a broad range of movement vocabulary, techniques, and artistic expression. Flight dancers demonstrate extreme flexibility, agility, strength, & the ability to pick up choreography quickly. Class time is dedicated to building avant-garde choreography and expanding the dancer’s capacity for expression on stage.
A regimen including a variety of technique classes and outside opportunities (summer intensives, conventions, master classes) enriches the Flight dancer’s “toolbox” of kinesthetic knowledge to draw upon.
