This course is all about dancing together! This course is open to everyone, no matter your experience level. You are encouraged to approach dance in a way that feels natural to you, starting from your own abilities, pace and interests.
We will practice trusting our own bodies and the bodies of others as we immerse ourselves in shared flows, imagery and interruptions. Together, we will explore the rhythm of taking hold and letting go, the forms of both familiar and unexpected, the sensations of touch, and spontaneous games that arise in the moment.
The classes include warm-ups, tuning into the day’s theme, experimenting with different contact exercises and improvisational games, and caring for our bodies. We will dance and listen to music in small groups, pairs and trios, creating a space for carefree exploration and intuitive movement. Along the way, we will share our experiences and observations with one another through both words and movement.
This course is open to everyone, no matter your experience level! You are encouraged to approach dance in a way that feels natural to you, starting from your own abilities, pace and interests.
