October 16: Yvonne Meier will sub for Julie Mayo

In these classes we will tune our perceptions to ourselves in stillness and  spontaneous movement. Supported by the space in and around us, we will dance utilizing various kinds of music/sound and guided kinesthetic imagery. Through our practice together, we will cultivate letting go of unnecessary tension(s) and, at one’s own pace, allow for new movement possibilities to arise. This class is OPEN TO ALL with or without formal dance training.

**Please have a clothing layer for time spent on the floor.
