Traditional and not-so-traditional ballet exercises combine for a thoughtful, anatomically-aware workout while increasing grace, coordination, posture, and strength. Working through imagery and sensation, the class will help students develop a solid foundation in basic ballet steps as well as working with musicality and developing skills for learning choreography. The fun, supportive environment is perfect for the beginning dancer looking to tackle new steps, or more experienced dancers wanting to hone their technique. This class celebrates ballet’s rich theatrical history with choreography that encourages a broad range of dramatic expression and unbridled, joyous dancing!

Accessing our most creative selves inside improvisation requires two things: developing our movement instinct and quieting our inner critic. This class series provides tools for both to support an improvisational practice that’s compelling to you and if desired, an audience. Develop movement generation, group connectivity, and presence that invites your audience in. Open to all levels, performers and non. Touch-optional space.
