Listening to Embody Music with J. Bouey

CLASS DESCRIPTION:

In this class, we will become one with the music. By listening to music like musicians, and allowing our bodies to our own musical instruments, we can explore many new possibilities within our current practices and techniques. This class will be most beneficial for people who confidently within, through, and without dance "techniques" as this is an improvision-based practice greatly influenced by Punking and Waacking performance practices. All expressions of movement are encouraged to participate. Let's JAM!
