Europe is so hot in Summer for past 10 years, global warming is definitely happening!!!Besides technique classes, they offer seminars and workshopsThe Hartt School alumni Isabella and senior Ashton participated! and took a photo with one and only Christine Dakin.I taught a Teen Creative Workshop. so we explore Dalcroze's 20 gestures, and then they developed their own gestures, they picked music and put a very short dance together!!!The last day, they had showing. Technique classes, creative workshops and seminars.Isabella and Ashton was in Christophe's workshopThey developed from pictures of some Graham balletSeminars on Clytemnestra - in this picture, I danced a role of Ephegenia Isabella and Ashton with Tamara MielnikThis is my Teens group
