The internationally acclaimed Stephen Petronio Company is celebrating its 25th Anniversary. To mark this milestone, the Company will be holding ongoing morning classes for the discerning dancer in New York City! Stephen and Company Members will present the first installment in a month-long Master Class Series at Peridance Center.

Petronio Technique is a sophisticated language of movement built over the years in conjunction with a large pool of fearless dancers. Classes are a rigorous and intelligent movement practice that begins with a warm-up which guides participants through an intimate connection to their unique physicality. Emphasis is placed on the articulation of the spine, the opening of the joints and the direction and flow of energy throughout the body and into space. This preparation is followed by highly charged phrases of movement derived from Company Repertory that embody dynamic sequencing, poly-rhythmic initiation and a sense of confidence within a complex architectural forms.

It is highly recommended to register in advance with Peridance Center. A 10% discount will be given to participants who register for all four weeks.
