A dance-based creative movement class – with an emphasis on body, action, space, time and energy. In this class, we will explore movement concepts like improvisation, dancing like the elements (fire, water, earth, air), creating choreography, tempo, level, and cultivating individual artistic voice. This class is suitable for all levels – no previous dance experience required. 

Objectives: 

  • Establish a sense of joy and freedom with kinesthetic exploration. 
  • Develop student’s artistry through exercises that connect dance fundamentals with individual expression. 
  • Break down components of body, action, space, time and energy to de-mystify concepts of dance composition, improvisation, and movement exploration. 
  • Encourage students to approach movement concepts with a sense of curiosity. 
  • Build student confidence and agency as dancers – emphasizing that everyone can dance.
