EDUCATOR
As an educator, Brandon has lead contemporary classes over the last decade. He currently teaches weekly contemporary classes at Steps on Broadway and Peridance in NYC and frequently tours the country working with both professional and pre-professional dancers.
Brandon’s classes always include a warm-up that promotes mobility as well as stabilization and then moves quickly into phrase work that challenges how dancers shift their weight, find suspension and sequence through movement. His class is based on his career in both contemporary and modern dance companies and is designed for dancers to explore joy, space, and feel grounded in their bodies.
Credits and inspiration for his class: Isadora Wolfe and Maxine Doyle [Punchdrunk and Sleep No More, NYC], Larry Keigwin [Keigwin + Co], Douglas Nielsen, Amy Ernst, Melissa Lowe, Sam Watson, Michael Williams [the University of Arizona], Shannon Gillen and Jason Reese Cianciulli [Vim Vigor], Risa Steinberg [Limon and The Juilliard School], Ami Shulman [Feldenkrais and GoteborgsOperans Danskompani].

“I’ve always wanted to build a class that I would be excited to take. I want to challenge dancers who enter the room and help them unlock some joy along the way.”
