Horton Technique is one of the classic forms of American dance, a codified series of movements which
emphasizes a whole body, anatomical approach. Its focus on flexibility, coordination, and precision lends it
well to dramatic expression and performance. Horton Technique is frequently implemented in jazz classes,
and the discipline it develops crosses over into ballet and contemporary dance as well.
