Spencer Denis
Spencer Dennis is a dancer and movement practitioner from Phoenix, Arizona. Spencer’s teaching explores the integration of diverse movement practices including modern dance, yoga, soft acrobatics, and contemporary floorwork while connecting his teaching to the actions and movements of everyday life. He has danced for several companies in the United States including CONDER|DANCE, Groundworks Dance Theater, Hawkins Dance, The Difference Between, and Soulescape. Throughout his career he has performed the works of Brian Brooks, Eric Handman, Amy Miller, Robyn Mineko Williams, Kathryn Altar, Peter Chu, and more. He has been twice awarded as an Arizona Artist of Promise for both his choreography and performance. It is Spencer’s goal to empower students to embrace what their body is currently capable of and encourage the exploration of how their body moves naturally. In his class you can expect discussion on movement efficiency, practice of floorwork concepts, and the study and execution of contemporary phrase work which incorporates the information explored in class. In the past year Spencer has been humbled and honored to have the opportunity to share his work and study with movers across the United States, Cuba, Peru, Spain, and Germany.
