Come to class!
Drop-in classes are standalone sessions — a great place to start, or supplement your dance training! Series programs offer opportunities to build on skills and deep dives that meet regularly for a set length of time. Cohorts are ongoing learning communities for dance students that wish to expand their skills through creative projects in addition to technical training.

MONDAYS @ 5PM
Contemporary dance is a catch-all genre that draws from a range of technical disciplines. In this class we start with warmups that encourage us to find our pelvis in space and our connection to the floor. Each class has a theme such as “soft, liquid spine” or “dance your gaze” or “textural contrast” that will be explored throughout, culminating in a short choreo sequence with space for your personal style to shine through.
*Physical prompts may include getting up and down from the floor repetitively, as well as bearing weight on our hands/wrists and knees. Knee pads are available at the studio and modifications are available, just ask :)

TUESDAYS 5-5:45pm
Dance Lab is 45 minutes of dancing to music guided by textural or gestural prompts. Examples: “let your feet explore the floor, use all edges of your feet” or “find a large circle through space with your rib cage, allow your whole body to expand the circle”. Participants are encouraged to move constantly and keep their eyes open. This is a space to connect with inner groove, witness, and be witnessed. This class format can be fun, silly, awkward, pleasurable, and other ways!

THURSDAYS @ 5PM
Foundational classical dance skills: alignment, terminology, and musicality. Gain strength through repetition and attention to detail. This class progresses through barre, stretch, and center work.

SATURDAYS @ 9:30AM
All the best and leave the rest! This is a joy centered, weekly ballet practice for people with any amount of previous experience. “Queering ballet” is about reclaiming the parts that feel fun and generative, while rejecting the patriarchal and classist roots on a cellular level. Non-classical music and no dress code, woo!

WEDNESDAYS @ 5:30PM
Body Space is one hour of moving around without expectations of how it looks or if it’s right. We play with movement that is invigorating, minuscule, awkward, and other ways. The intention is to explore how our body feels right now, what can or can’t feel different, and what it’s like to move with others. The class is facilitated with direct prompts, and there is room for participants to follow their own compass. There is no expectation that participants need to be embodied or will become embodied. All movement is adaptable for any mobility level. No Mirrors.

COMING SOON on TUESDAY MORNINGS
This is a trans centered, mask required movement container to examine sensation, take up space, and share reflections (or not). More details to come!
