Monday Modern V/VI
RCD boasts a strong Modern Dance program rooted in classical modern traditions. Amy Piantaggini (Graham-based Modern) and Janel Fitzgerald (Horton-based Modern) offer our Levels III-VI in divided semester offerings. Modern dance appeals to the creative, artistic soul in everyone because of its expressiveness and freedom of individuality. RCD’s Modern Dance classes (for students second grade and up) introduce students to elements of Graham-based technique including fundamental principles of contraction/release, spiral, and shift of weight. The students focus on movement from the inside out, encouraging use of breath, energy, and connection. Class begins with traditional floorwork exercised, progresses into standing work, moves to travelling phrases across the floor, and culminate in movement phrases that explore dynamic possibilities. Horton offers dancers an anatomical approach to include classic flat backs, lateral stretches, and develops overall strength and flexibility. A strong foundation in both traditional technique of Graham and Horton, students are prepared to use breath, opposition, and strength that carries over into other disciplines. Modern dance is strongly encouraged for dancers aspiring to a college dance program.

Monday Tap Intermediate
Tap Dance is a timeless art that combines dance and percussion. Tap dancers in musicals, movies, television, commercials, and concerts inspire us with their infectious rhythms. Tap Dance classes (for students grade 2 and up) explore the two traditions of rhythm tap (hoofing) and Broadway tap. Class begins with warm up exercises in the center that increase control, coordination, and rhythm, followed by across the floor exercises that teach dynamics, shading, phrasing, and musicality, concluding with extended rhythmic phrases and improvisation exercises. The goal is to develop tap dancers that are equally strong musicians, dancers, and performers. Tap Intermediate is generally for middle schoolers, younger dancers with experience, or older dancers with less experience.

Monday Modern V/VI
RCD boasts a strong Modern Dance program rooted in classical modern traditions. Amy Piantaggini (Graham-based Modern) and Janel Fitzgerald (Horton-based Modern) offer our Levels III-VI in divided semester offerings. Modern dance appeals to the creative, artistic soul in everyone because of its expressiveness and freedom of individuality. RCD’s Modern Dance classes (for students second grade and up) introduce students to elements of Graham-based technique including fundamental principles of contraction/release, spiral, and shift of weight. The students focus on movement from the inside out, encouraging use of breath, energy, and connection. Class begins with traditional floorwork exercised, progresses into standing work, moves to travelling phrases across the floor, and culminate in movement phrases that explore dynamic possibilities. Horton offers dancers an anatomical approach to include classic flat backs, lateral stretches, and develops overall strength and flexibility. A strong foundation in both traditional technique of Graham and Horton, students are prepared to use breath, opposition, and strength that carries over into other disciplines. Modern dance is strongly encouraged for dancers aspiring to a college dance program.

Monday Modern III/IV
RCD boasts a strong Modern Dance program rooted in classical modern traditions. Amy Piantaggini (Graham-based Modern) and Janel Fitzgerald (Horton-based Modern) offer our Levels III-VI in divided semester offerings. Modern dance appeals to the creative, artistic soul in everyone because of its expressiveness and freedom of individuality. RCD’s Modern Dance classes (for students second grade and up) introduce students to elements of Graham-based technique including fundamental principles of contraction/release, spiral, and shift of weight. The students focus on movement from the inside out, encouraging use of breath, energy, and connection. Class begins with traditional floorwork exercised, progresses into standing work, moves to travelling phrases across the floor, and culminate in movement phrases that explore dynamic possibilities. Horton offers dancers an anatomical approach to include classic flat backs, lateral stretches, and develops overall strength and flexibility. A strong foundation in both traditional technique of Graham and Horton, students are prepared to use breath, opposition, and strength that carries over into other disciplines. Modern dance is strongly encouraged for dancers aspiring to a college dance program.

Monday Tap Intermediate
Tap Dance is a timeless art that combines dance and percussion. Tap dancers in musicals, movies, television, commercials, and concerts inspire us with their infectious rhythms. Tap Dance classes (for students grade 2 and up) explore the two traditions of rhythm tap (hoofing) and Broadway tap. Class begins with warm up exercises in the center that increase control, coordination, and rhythm, followed by across the floor exercises that teach dynamics, shading, phrasing, and musicality, concluding with extended rhythmic phrases and improvisation exercises. The goal is to develop tap dancers that are equally strong musicians, dancers, and performers. Tap Intermediate is generally for middle schoolers, younger dancers with experience, or older dancers with less experience.

This class will examine an array of styles from Modern-Contemporary to Contemp-Pop with an exploration of musicality, movement style, dynamic shifts, space, time, spinal mobility, movement initiation, physicality, floor work- identifying correct pathways for moving in and out of the floor with alignment to help injury prevention, flying through space, exploratory games, and partnering work. There will be strong association with the breath to keep calmer muscles when learning new and difficult information and to supplement the muscles when required to move with extreme physicality. There is a place in this class for every curious dancer who is interested in creativity for dnace making and dance understanding. Ballet is strongly recommended.

Tap Dance Program | Tap Dance is a timeless art that combines dance and percussion. Tap dancers in musicals, movies, television, commercials, and concerts inspire us with their infectious rhythms. Tap Dance classes (for students grade 2 and up) explore the two traditions of rhythm tap (hoofing) and Broadway tap. Class begins with warm up exercises in the center that increase control, coordination, and rhythm, followed by across the floor exercises that teach dynamics, shading, phrasing, and musicality, concluding with extended rhythmic phrases and improvisation exercises.

Wednesday Contemporary III
Contemporary Dance Program | Contemporary Dance, available to Level III and up, pushes boundaries of previously learned techniques and styles and will pull from a more “pedestrian”, human, and creature-like vocabulary. The intention is to break down patterns and habitual movement qualities and find newness and awareness of where the body naturally goes and how it naturally moves. This class will examine an array of styles from Modern-Contemporary to Contemp-Pop with an exploration of musicality, movement style, dynamic shifts, space, time, spinal mobility, movement initiation, physicality, floor work- identifying correct pathways for moving in and out of the floor with alignment to help injury prevention, flying through space, exploratory games, and partnering work. There will be strong association with the breath to keep calmer muscles when learning new and difficult information and to supplement the muscles when required to move with extreme physicality. There is a place in this class for every curious dancer who is interested in creativity for dnace making and dance understanding. Ballet is strongly recommended.

Thursday Intro. to Modern & Contemporary Forms
RCD boasts a strong Modern Dance program rooted in classical modern traditions. Amy Piantaggini (Graham-based Modern) and Janel Fitzgerald (Horton-based Modern) offer our Levels III-VI in divided semester offerings. Dancers in Level II will have the opportunity to learn both modern and contemporary forms basics in a class introducing dancers to the different forms; pre-1970s (Modern) and post-1970s traditions (Contemporary forms). Modern dance appeals to the creative, artistic soul in everyone because of its expressiveness and freedom of individuality. RCD’s Modern Dance classes (for students second grade and up) introduce students to elements of Graham-based technique including fundamental principles of contraction/release, spiral, and shift of weight. The students focus on movement from the inside out, encouraging use of breath, energy, and connection. Class begins with traditional floorwork exercised, progresses into standing work, moves to travelling phrases across the floor, and culminate in movement phrases that explore dynamic possibilities. Horton offers dancers an anatomical approach to include classic flat backs, lateral stretches, and develops overall strength and flexibility. A strong foundation in both tradional technique of Graham and Horton, students are prepared to use breath, opposition, and strength that carries over into other disciplines. Modern dance is strongly encouraged for dancers aspiring to a college dance program.
