Modern III - Springer

Investigating the line of human movement and how it can affect the broader strokes of our dancing is at the center of this highly technical, movement based class. Through the expansive use of the back and limbs, Varone’s style will be explored through an emphasis on breath, strength, dynamic lyricism and musicality.

Alex Springer, originally from Farmington Hills, Michigan, studied dance under the direction of Lisa Campos DeWitt and Toi Banks.  He graduated with honors from the University of Michigan with a BFA in dance and a minor in Movement Science.  Since relocating to NYC, he has had the pleasure of working with such artists as Amy Chavasse, Leyya Tawil, Lizzie Leopold and Elizabeth Dishman, among others.  Alex choreographs with his wife, Xan Burley, and has produced work in various venues in NYC, Chicago and Detroit.  Alex joined Doug Varone and Dancers in 2008.
