MALEEK's TEACHING STYLE
Maleek's classes delve into the dancer of today, re-educating the body to enhance our human aspects and creating an atmosphere to be versatile in any given style. Maleek's movement and combinations range from improvisation to contemporary fusing aspects from modern dance with a hip hop flare and learning how to tell a vivid story with your body. The classes includes a range of structured formatted movement, improvisation, floor work and dynamics centred around making strong movement choices. Maleek leads classes into an investigation of our individual qualities by integrating acting skills to help dive deeper into a sense of self and to create well-rounded performers and artists.
