MAVERICK DANCE EXPERIENCE CLASS AT DANY STUDIOS

New York, New York – On Saturday, February 16th, Maverick Dance Experience launches its 2013 “Mavericks Across Communities Program”, presenting a series of community dance classes, in effort to continue spreading Maverick-style across diverse communities. We invite you to attend Maverick’s professional level technique class, held at DANY Studios Studio 1M, 305 West 38^th Street, New York, NY 10018, 4-6pm, $13.

Maverick dance technique is a hybrid genre of classical and postmodernism. Through an expressionist lens, the movement is largely contemporary with a strong presence of dance-theater, partnering, inversion and floorwork. The technique facilitates dancers’ full range of fluidity in the joints, torso and extremities while providing a solid and wide base for grounded and varied quick bursts of traveling and stationary movements. The class begins on the floor initiating a relationship with the earth, pelvis and underside of the body, gradually building to a standing position where the exercises focus on ease of fall and recovery, spirals, centrifugal force, extension, and movement in the back space.

Maverick Dance Experience, founded in 2008, is a New York City-based company that

joins dance-theater elements to create and relate urgent messages on social commentary,

humanness through blood memory and politics. Artistic Director Toni Renee Johnson holds a Master of Fine Arts from Florida State University, and has danced with such notable artists as Nia Love, Nathan Trice, INSPIRIT, a dance company, and Urban Bush Women. She is a teaching artist with the National Dance Institute and serves as an adjunct professor at the Community College of Morris. She has self produced and has been presented throughout New York City including Judson Church, Dixon Place, BAAD and Baruch Performing Arts Center. She is a recipient of the Company Choreographic Commission Project (CCCP) and two Newsteps Emerging Artist grants. Her company recently earned a grant from the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council to provide arts services to Senior Centers in Co-op City, Bronx.
