The Dunham Technique, developed by legendary choreographer and anthropologist Katherine Dunham, is a dynamic blend of African, Caribbean, social, and modern dance forms. This powerful technique emphasizes strength, flexibility, and the rapid, fluid undulation of the torso and hips, all guided by the live pulse of traditional drumming. Rooted in polyrhythms and ceremonial dances, the Dunham Technique bridges cultural traditions with contemporary movement, creating a rich, immersive experience.
More than just a dance style, this technique is a cultural journey that invites students to explore the connections between past and present, tradition and innovation. Each movement embodies a living legacy, celebrating diversity and honoring the global rhythms that shape our shared human experience. Through its continued practice and teaching, the Dunham Technique stands as a powerful reminder of dance's ability to unify, uplift, and transform.
