We did a lot of breathing last night in class with our guest teacher, Michael Jahoda. And let me just say...it was wonderful! Michael was a former mentor for DTG and has since moved to Amsterdam. He's back at BU for the week, though, doing a residency for us dancers.
Now, I'm sure I've got everyone confused. I have yet to explain how our classes work or what the heck a residency is. Every Thursday (minus the Thursdays when we have showings) we hold a class in a different dance style. In the past we've had Irish, Bhangra, Salsa, jazz, break-dance...you name it, we've had it. So this week Michael joined to teach a wonderful modern class. Still with me?
O.K. on to the residency. Each fall we host a professional dancer and choreographer and he/she works with the dancers for one week of intense rehearsals. At the end of the week, there is a performance of the work created that week that is free and open to everyone!
I'm glad we've gotten all of that boring information stuff out of the way. So since you're all DTG experts by now, I expect to see all of you tonight at the residency performance! I mean, c'mon it is free after all. See you at the Dance Theatre (entrance on Buick St) from 8-9 p.m.!
