welcome to the experiment.

I am a dancer by trade. I teach at a performing arts junior/senior high school in the high desert to pay the bills. While I'm there I encourage my students to use dance as therapy, as I do. Thusly, we've started the Lyrical Improv Experiment.

At least once a week, a few of my advanced students and I get together to have an improv session - where we pick songs that suit the emotions in our lives at that particular moment, and improvise in the lyrical dance style to these songs.

Recently, we've been videotaping these experiments so I can show them to my students and we can analyze how to improve their improvisational technique. And I've decided to share them with you, with this blog. :)

I hope you enjoy!

-Jennifer.
