FastClasses go exercise to exercise without stopping, perfect for when you already know the steps. Whether you need a warm-up or want to challenge your memory and endurance, these short edits of our most popular classes allow you a full class in less time.

Discover why the modern dance technique of Lester Horton is a classic technique uniquely suited for training the contemporary dancer.  Through its study, strength, flexibility and a balanced body can be attained without imprinting the dancer with a discernable style.  We will be examining the fundamentals of this exciting technique, exploring elements of the studies and fortifications and incorporating them into choreographic phrases both in the center and across the floor.  Musicality will also be a primary focus as we work in tandem with our class accompanist.  No previous experience with the Horton technique is required.

Music by: Stahv Danker
