foundDANCE is a beginner/all levels contemporary dance class—which means it is for: those who are new to dance, new to contemporary dance, returning to dance after a long time, and anyone looking for a class that prioritizes the joy of movement in a welcoming environment. We will cover movement fundamentals, guided improvisation, learning choreography step by step, all while being gentle with ourselves as we learn new things. At the heart of this class is the experience of moving with a group of people and the magic it brings.

Radical Softness
In these 4 (drop-in) classes, you will be exposed to a river of movement in resonance with each other. There won't be mindless repetitions without feeling our inner landscapes. We'll be mindful, bodyful and we'll aim for a bodymind dance experience spiced up with spirited expressions of self! We'll sense in, sweat and learn together. We'll have fun and certainly some challenging moments. I invite you to become active and curious researchers of the body in movement.
We will use the Axis Syllabus as a foundation for moving through space. We will dance solo and with others. We'll do phrase work to hone in on some of the presented material. Exploration material includes:
Proprioceptively sensing the limitations and pathways of our joints in order to find freedom in motion.
Respecting our skeletal structure and using it to move instead of recruiting muscles to effort.
Toning versatility.
Allowing gravity to move the bones/soul and feeling how easy/delightful moving can be as earth creatures.
Allowing body (parts) to fall all the time in order to hone in and use momentum.
Remembering/rediscovering the fluid nature of the human body. Belonging here.
Tending to the whole, entering the environment of choice, focus, ease and clarity.
No foundDANCE class 11/27. Please join us on 12/4 for the final “November” class of this series!
