Lovie Bucknell has studied modern dance since 1990 and specifically wishes to share her experiences in classes from ODC SF, Alonzo King’s Lines Dance Center, and University of Oregon

Her class gives students the opportunity to practice quick learning skills with challenging direction and timing changes.  Each class will cover a multitude of material, with no floor work.  Previous modern dance and ballet experience required.

Students wishing to improve mental clarity and efficiency;  and experience the joys of confidence with speed, will enjoy this class.  Highly recommended for students facing upcoming auditions.

This class doubles as company class for The Movement Alliance Dance Theatre Company (TMA) which Lovie directs.  Dancers for TMA are often invited from this class.
