Who doesn't want to start the day with a good dance class!? A movement class where you won't imitate a teacher in front of a freakin' mirror. You will be exposed to a river of movement in resonance with each other. Yes, we'll sweat. Yes, we'll sense in. Yes we'll have fun and certainly some challenging moments. We'll embrace it all. Come!
We will start with a series of 6 dance classes. I intend to continue this over the whole winter if enough people can make it happen.
This class uses the Axis Syllabus as a foundation for moving through space. We will dance in solo and with others, our body in relationship and in playful research mode, exploring some of these themes:
- 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.
