The Little Byrd Pre-Professional Workshop is for focused dancers ages 9-14. The week-long daily workshop runs from 4:30 pm- 6:30 pm PST.
The workshop consists of a 1 hour and 15-minute technique class followed by 45 minutes of process and appropriately selected repertory with a culminating presentation on Saturday, July 29th, with time TBD.
Technique class focuses on Mr. Byrd’s movement aesthetics and emphasizes a relaxed, strong, and flexible torso with highly articulated feet and legs and increasing rhythmic and spatial exactness. With this focus, the student becomes more efficient in managing energy and more able to control the visual, emotional, and physical impact of their body moving.
