\n\n Note: The pose for this class is t he classic and beautiful pose executed by Michelangelo in the figure of 'D awn' in his Tomb for Lorenzo D'Medici. A group of students will be continu ing this pose (from a previous class) in the hopes of bringing it to a hig her level of completion. New students will naturally begin the pose from t he armature along with the instructor. This is an excellent and rare oppor tunity to not only do a classic pose\, but to be in a class with instructi on in both beginning and finishing stages being taught simultaneously.
