Created by choreographer and anthropologist Katherine Dunham, who fused African and Caribbean dance forms with modern dance, Dunham technique requires incredible physicality and strength to execute the spinal twists, undulations, and polyrhythmic movements that propel the body through space. 

Dunham class is divided into a series of barre exercises, a section focused on center floor work, and progressions that move across the floor and are integral to choreography. Signature moves include the Dunham walk, the undulating spine in the fall recovery series, and the dynamic rocking horse.
