Contemporary Dance Class (Mixed Levels)

Vija’s two-hour contemporary class starts with a careful, full body warmup influenced by her decades-long practice of Simonson Technique. The emphasis is on anatomical awareness with a healthy balance of stretching, strengthening, and dance technique. After center warmup and floor stretches, Vija leads the class in progressions—short combinations traveling across the studio. The class culminates in a longer dance combination, followed by a short period of student improvisation. Vija loves music and uses a variety of genres. Her contemporary movement incorporates attention to musicality, percussive/lyrical contrast, fluidity, and emotion.
