Storytelling in Modern Dance will explore the power of this expansive style to tell stories – to share and express human emotions with both fellow dancers and an audience. Basic foundations and techniques of Modern Dance, such as body alignment, weight transfer, expansion/contraction, and floorwork, will be learned and practiced each class. These will translate into short movement phrases that will be built upon collaboratively.
Improvisation is another important tool for expression and storytelling in dance. Participants will play “dance games” intended to cultivate free form movement and set aside insecurities and preconceived ideas about what dance should or shouldn’t be. Over the course of the class, dancers—with guidance from the instructor—will create a short piece, highlighting stories held by individuals, as well as a collective story developed as a community.
This class welcomes dancers of any and all skill levels and dance experience. Join me in sharing stories, space, and movement through the lens of Modern Dance!
If class is full, please enroll in the waitlist. We will contact you if a space becomes available.
Nate Gehrenbeck-Miller was born and raised in South Minneapolis. He graduated from Macalester College in 2023, where he studied Spanish, Psychology, and Dance. In 2022, Nate studied abroad in Costa Rica. It was there, while taking Salsa and Bachata classes and letting loose in the discotecas, that a deep passion for movement was born. Today, Nate’s stylistic influences include Hip Hop, Dance Improvisation, Afro-Caribbean, Ballet, and—of course—Modern! His performance background includes two dance concerts at Macalester College and a recent debut of his own solo choreography at the Zenon Zone Fall Showcase, amongst other informal works.
Looking toward the new year, Nate is excited to perform with 8:20 Dance Company this season, work as a host at Dance Church Minneapolis, and continue sharing his love for movement as a choreographer and now instructor! In rare moments of non-dance, you may find Nate in a tree or savoring each slurp of a bowl of pho.
