Six advanced Graham dancers demonstrate and perform Advanced Graham exercises many of which date from the 1930s, 1940s through to the 1960s.  These exercises are physically and artistically challenging.  Miki Orihara, the dance director, along with Susan Kikuchi, compiled the syllabus of these exercises based on their long careers  with the Graham Company.  In addition to the Floor and Standing exercises, Miki collected combinations contributed by renowned Graham teachers that combine and challenge the dancers with the exercises from the video.
