When class is held outside masks are optional

Come move with us outside! We feel the wind on our skin and the weather all around. We lean into the trees that hold and contain us. This class comes out of many years of movement study, curiosity and play. Somatic leanings, movement improvisational scores, contact improv, authentic movement, contemplative dance, dance boot camp and a fierce dance-your-ass-off-in-the-club shows up. Original music compositions, pop-culture songs, and abstract sound weaves through each class. it is a mash up encouraging entanglement. It moves you and the class is moved by you.

For this hour and 15 minutes, your body is the guide as prompts are given, your body translates all that is into this moment of a miracle, of you being here right now. We dance our weird, sweaty, we can’t stop fucking shaking our bodies, we are alive, we are exhausted, we are feeling into our individual and collective grief, we are ecstatically moving our bodies in the SAME PLACE AT THE SAME TIME dance. Say it again: in the SAME PLACE AT THE SAME TIME! This is us being nibble and flexible and pushing up through the cracks because we lean into resource and our nervous systems need this in ways that are not possible to say or feel in words, and that is exactly why we move our bodies and dance. Help. Spread. The. Word.

It’s a fucking miracle we are here right now under and held by this sky. It’s a fucking miracle we breathe, we move, we sweat, we love, we anger, we feel anything at all, it’s a fucking miracle. It’s a fucking miracle we dance, we prance, we shake, we jazz finger it up sometimes. This is a dance party, an exercise class, a somatic lesson, a play date, it’s a fucking miracle. We are collective action and we are individual desire.
