Today’s Advanced Contemporary Phrasework is was FIRE 🔥 truly. Thanks to everyone who came, y’all made my heart SING. Honored to work with each of you. ❤️ GIVE IT UP for @anaka.weissjones and @erin_patterson22 (dancers in video) 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 like wow. And @abigaylecrampton @tara14_1 and Sloan, you three went for broke today. LOVE getting to dance with you all. This phrasework is from “Opera Game,” a full length immersive work, I choreographed in 2024? Or was that 2025? Dancers, help me lol! Either way, getting to bring a small piece of this back to life… pure joy. Catch only one more week of Advanced Contemporary Phrasework next Tues 9/22 at 12pm at Denver Dance Center, before I regroup for a new week or so. Also, join me for Advanced Improvisation Lab this Thursday 9/17 and next 9/24 at 10:30am at Denver Dance Center. Your first class is free! DM for more info! #contemporarydancer #contemporaryballet #choreo #denverdance #balletdancers by @dancebyjana
