*Please Note! Class on Thursday, December 19th will take place at 122CC (150 First Ave, New York, NY 10009)

Using improvisational and set warm-ups, this class will focus on the volume and weight inside the body and its relationship to the floor and movement. Exercises that bring awareness to the feet, spine and pelvic floor encourage the feeling of release in the limbs, allowing us to fall and suspend off center, simultaneously finding a grounded, flexible base of support. Using these physical tools, we will explore sensation, instinct, and the inherent musicality inside the body. All the while dancing, we will work toward a more grounded and direct approach to movement. The work we will do together holds an intention and an invitation to experience conversing intimately with movement, with dance, and with each other.

What to expect: Full dancing, improvising, subtly and largely, a space where all levels are able to engage in the class material.
