Dancing at Night w/ Pepper Fajans

Wednesdays, 8:15 – 9:45pm // 5-Oct thru 7-Dec
$10

In a structured groove we use the powers of after hours to animate our mind’s eye. A technical class with open forms to facilitate conversation between rhythm and the character of our body. Open level, this work can be scaled for anyone. Wear what makes you feel good and expect to sweat.
