Modern Dance Technique

Fueled by an emphasis on soft, useful breath, Guido guides one to explore a variety of dynamics using kinesthetic awareness. The class promotes performance theatrics. Often challenging, his choreography is emotionally strong, focusing on the vast qualities of human expression. Open to students of various levels and techinical abilities, his classes provide a supportive, creative, fun environment where students may connect with one another and discover new and more free ways of moving.

His class warm-up progresses from gentle exercises to connect with the breath and the floor to more aerobically and techinically demanding movements, incorporating ideas of release, fall and recovery throughout. By encouraging a relaxed way of working, Guido enables students of all levels to develop a better awareness of body alignment, to increase technical mastery through intuitive movement, and to apply a heightened sense of self and self-awareness to his choreography. His combinations offer great dynamic variety and theatricality as well as physical challenges including floor and upside down work, allowing students to explore and enhance their performing skills.
