Week 5
Dance Week
Open Mind, Insert Foot
Matthew Olwell


Percussive dance is like an open field in which to play, from Fred Astaire to STOMP, from folks dancing on city street corners to farm house porches and anything in between. In this class, students can learn steps from clogging, tap, body percussion and steppin' vocabularies, all taught in Matthew's approachable style, where the emphasis is on the body as an instrument uniquely suited to making rhythm.
