“ Le mot “ sens ” est le diamant concentré du vocabulaire français : En une syllabe “ sens ”, en réalité tout est dit, parce que ses trois acceptations sont les trois étages de notre vie humaine : la sensation, puis la direction et puis la signification, c’est à dire la réalisation “. -François Cheng

Translation: "The word "sens" is the diamond of the French vocabulary: In a single syllable "sens", in reality everything is said, because its three meanings are the three stages of our human life: the sensation, then the direction and then the meaning, that is to say the realization".

MCG Dance Method Virtual Class

Tuesday Class at noon.

Level: Intermediate/Advanced

Pay what you can. $5 suggested via Venmo or paypal: paypal.me/dropsaccumulated

Register for one or more classes: info@mcgdance.org

Ms. Giordano's method, based on principles of modern dance and ballet she considers valuable, develops in her dancers a powerful center, granting them the freedom to explore the full potential of their physical and artistic expression. It is a unique approach to movement, incorporating spirals, circular movements, crisp lines, shifts of weight, slow motion, a distinctive dynamic and the capacity to veer from total control to total abandon.

We offer classes that build you from the core/foundation and allows you to give yourself entirely to e-motion (energy in motion). We guide each dancer with comprehensive tools. Our method is respectful of a healthy alignment of the back and articulations, and guides students who want to become dancers and artists seeking a long career. Our process develops from the inside out with power and beauty. We create quality.
