$12 / $14

This class will focus on allowing the inherent dynamic logic of the moving body to become more present in our dancing. We will encourage each cell, joint, bone, fiber, what-have-you, in our bodies to be co-responsive to each other in a vast network that emphasizes kinetic simplicity within multi-layered forms.
