Gaga.People w/ Gaga Faculty

Gaga.People

Gaga is a movement language developed by Ohad Naharin in Israel to help dancers and non-dancers alike reconnect to the way they move. Teachers guide the participants using a series of evocative instructions that build one on top of the other. Rather than copying a particular movement, each participant in the class actively explores these instructions, discovering how he or she can interpret the information and perform the task at hand. 

Gaga.People is open to all experience levels. Advanced dancers may want to also try Gaga.Dancers, also available at the Mark Morris Dance Center.

Taught by Gaga Faculty.
Mondays and Thursdays 8:30-9:30am
Wednesdays 8:00 - 9:00pm


IMPORTANT NOTE: Late entry is not permitted in Gaga classes. The first few minutes of Gaga is very important due to the physical and mental awareness it creates for the class environment. Please plan accordingly.
