This class comes out of many years of movement study, curiosity and play. It weaves together my somatic leanings, movement improvisational scores, contact improv, authentic movement, contemplative dance, dance boot camp and fiercely dancing-my-ass-off-in-the-club. 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.

There is never too much dancing. Help spread the dance one move at a time.

Our intuitive selves understand that our bodies were meant to move. We are built by design to articulate movement on the cellular level to the big bold shapes of our bodies. School up and start to pay attention to all the systems at play that want you to move.
We offer our class as a container to move into your emotions, to feel into the truth of where you are at, to support things shifting in your body, to help you with your practice of self care, and to literally feel the dance inside of you. The truth of it is dance is so much more than moving a body through space. We can pretend that this is just a dance class, and that in itself is enough. And so we do, this is a dance class.....and now let's dance our asses off!
