Course Details

In this class, movement will stem from story telling, personal style and freedom while simultaneously maintaining a strong focus on technique. It is primarily a choreography class with opportunities to hone skills in improv and technique.

Modern/ Contemporary Dance is the first true American form of dance and began as a way to break away from the conventionalism of ballet technique and the formality of ballet movement. Modern dance is anything and everything the choreographer wants it to be. Movement and ideas are challenged in class as we find new ways to move our bodies in space. This class is designed to heighten and train core skills such as coordination, memorization, musicality, kinetic awareness and performance skills.

  • Teacher's Experience
  • Lindsay has been dancing since she was 5, growing up in studios around Portland. She had her primary training from Body and Soul Creative Dance, where she taught and choreographed for their senior competition teams. After high school she attended Washington State University receiving her Bachelors of Science in psychology. While at school she was an active part of the dance community both on and off campus. She studied under the dance program all four years and also worked with a local studio, creating their first ever competition teams. After college she moved back to Portland and started performing and working in the dance team community. This began her time choreographing and teaching along the west coast as an instructor with NW Dance Company, leading to opportunities working with both high school and college dance teams. Lindsay danced for the Portland Winterhawks Rosebud Dance Team for 5 years and was captain for 3 years. For the last 5 years she has co-directed Mixd Dance Company, where she co-produced and choreographed 2 full length productions and established training programs for advanced dancers that have graduated past typical studio ages. When Mixd isn’t producing shows and training they produce concept videos and themed photoshoots with company dancers. Helping other dancers train and grow their love of dance is one of the best feelings in the world, and Lindsay values every opportunity she gets to do what she loves!
