dance theatre X/residency information/dance technique & rep classes

dtX residencies often include dance technique or repertory classes for student performers.  charles o. anderson's class presents the style of the company and is usually appropriate for intermediate and advanced students of dance.  his afro-contemporary aesthetic incorporates elements of west and south african dance and pan-african and modern dance techniques and social dance into a unique contemporary style.  a comprehensive warm-up is followed by the teaching/performance of a combination fashioned from the dtX movement vocabulary.  the class ends with across-the-floor movement and a closing warm-down and meditation.

in addition to anderson's master class, company dancers can teach technique classes in a variety of styles including traditional west african, umfundulai, jazz, modern, hip-hop, and ballet.  these classes can be geared toward any level of dance student, theatre student, or community participant.

charles o. anderson also teaches repertory classes in which specific choreography from company repertory is taught.  students can be exposed to select sections of pieces to be executed by the company in performance, enhancing their understanding of the dtX style.
