ACoHo

I have been experimenting with my personal instructional progression of Horton technique as a means to make a codified technique more accessible and useful for dancers studying multiple disciplines. My new system of Horton based exercises called ACoHo (Andre’s Contemporary Horton) and the format by which I instruct the class, builds on tried and tested tenants that are universal staples of all good training. I have found relative success trying to tackle in new ways some of the challenges young multi-discipline students face today. As a devout student, practitioner and instructor of Horton technique, I see room for adaption and refinement. I have been deconstructing traditional Horton exercises to include even more organic properties. I have developed and fashioned the traditional class to be more bio-mechanically sound to incorporate aspects and properties of other techniques. In addition, I wanted to make Horton technique more user friendly for this generation of students.
