Joyce Master Class: A.I.M

THE JOYCE MASTER CLASS SERIES AT GIBNEY: A.I.M
WITH Kyle Abraham

Price: $25

Classes taught by A.I.M emphasize four of the company’s core movement values: exploration, musicality, abandonment, and intuition. The opening warm up sequence focuses on the fluidity of the spine, articulation, and core body strengthening; and then builds up to challenging, creative and invigorating phrase work. Students experience a personalized postmodern movement vocabulary full of intricate gestures and signature A.I.M moves.
