CONTEMPORARY DANCE CLASS:  Intermediate to Advanced Levels

Rigo focuses on intrinsic connections between body and mind, establishing a kinetic, intuitive interface between impulse and its expression through movement.

His class is based on three structures: physical conditioning, floor work and movement development.  He combines a technical repertoire that includes floor work, low-flying movement and contact improvisation to develop a “movement melody” that navigates in and out of the floor in the same sequence.
