Ugnayan

Connecting PH Dance Artists Worldwide

July 26 – August 10, 2020

Daloy Dance Company

Daloy Dance Company’s first-ever virtual intensive that focuses on highlighting Philippine contemporary dancers and choreographers from around the world.

We would love for as many Philippine dancers from across the globe to re-root their Filipino heritage through a fun network of friends and peers in the contemporary dance field. Relationships as a strong root system for ‘Ugnayan’, connections.

We would love for more Filipino dance artists in the diaspora to have more friends in the Philippines, and Pinas-based dance artists to have more friends abroad.

Classes will be a combination of both live and recorded classes. This will give dancers the opportunity to take classes from teachers located anywhere, regardless of timezones.

Drop-in classes are open to everyone, and intensive classes are only open to dancers ages 16+ with at least 4 years of training. This intensive is not only open to Philippine dancers, but all are also welcome to join and learn with us! Partial and full scholarships are available, as well as opportunities to sponsor attendees.

These array of online dance classes includes Creative Workshops which will give an opportunity for students to produce content and learn a creative practice: Guided Movement classes will focus on movement generation through suggested sensations, imagery, and verbal cues (examples: Gaga, Daloy Movement): Ballet, Urban dance, Contemporary, Horton, Improvisation classes are included in our Technique Classes, and: Conditioning Classes focuses on movement wellness such as Yoga, Stretching, Pilates, and Cardio.
