Barnstorm Dance Fest

Barnstorm showcases the vibrancy of dance in Houston and provides audiences with an exciting sampling of dance genres. The festival includes three unique programs, including 19 live performance works and 9 dance films by dancemakers from our city, region, and across the country. Highlighting the emerging and established dancemakers working in a wide range of styles and featuring both newcomers and audience favorites, each program will be presented twice during the festival. This year’s Barnstorm programs were curated by Lavanya Rajagopalan, Armando Silva, and Jennifer Sommers.

Schedule:

10-11:30am: Contemporary Technique – Led by John Beasant III

Hunter Dance Center

This contemporary dance class will begin with a quick warmup to jump-start the mind and body. Exercises then help facilitate a more expansive approach to moving through space, involving sequences that focus on the articulation of the spine, building strength through the core and legs, culminating into phrase-work that unearths empowerment and joy with one’s dancing.
