REBECCA RICE'S MODERN DANCE CLASSES

Rebecca's modern dance classes focus on developing technical, theatrical performers and building strong, musical, organic movers. They seek to develop a dancel artist’s sensibility, creativity, precision, and strength using techniques from Ballet, Bill Evans/ Limon-based modern, Laban, Effort Shape as well as various Pilates and Zena Rommets floor work. Ballet barre, contemporary movement and new choreographic ideas will be part of every class, as well as attention to challenging rhythms and strong musicality.

 

"Rebecca Rice has forged a movement lexicon that fuses ballet and modern dance in a way that seems totally organic, comfortably familiar yet not routine. The foundation in traditional ballet is impeccably clear, yet her work is grounded in the weighted earthiness and gestural richness of modern dance."

– Boston Globe, April 2002
