About
This is an exploratory movement class combining improvised movement and somatic work, and suited to an older adult (55+) crowd. I will guide the group to ground ourselves in the body - sensing, observing and "thinking" with the body - and engage in creative inquiry through prompts and exercises; we will work with ourselves (solo) and with others (duets+) to expand our range of tools for movement, dance, and physical expression. All bodies and abilities welcome: we will work and move at our own pace.
No experience necessary, curiosity required!
* Class will start at 1:45PM, feel free to come a few minutes early to arrive in a relaxed fashion.
** Outside shoes aren't allowed on EDAM dance floors. If foot support is needed, please bring indoor/dance floor-appropriate footwear.
