In the first half-hour, Penny will give a talk on the legacy of Katherine Dunham. Then you will explore the folkloric tradition of Dunham in Haitian, Cuban, Brazilian, and African American dance in a comprehensive class that includes a traditional warm up, center floor sequence, series of progressions, and breathing exercises. You will enjoy a class that starts out centered and meditative that gradually becomes high-spirited and powerful as you learn the “Dunham way of life.” With amazing live drumming.
