Afro-Modern Dance with Dunham Roots

About this class

Malashock Dance's Thursday Afro-Modern class draws on Katherine Dunham technique to teach movement vocabulary rooted in African and Caribbean dance traditions, covering hip and spine isolations, grounded traveling steps, and polyrhythmic coordination. The instructor's approach builds physical vocabulary through repetition and music so students develop a feel for the style rather than just copying shapes. Drop-in access, no prior dance experience required.
