** Kayvon Pourazar teaches for Vicky Shick on June 8. **

Class is about our physicality. We ready our bodies and minds by focusing on alignment, clarity and ease with space for sensation and feedback from our bodies. Through pleasure, rigor, phrase work and exploration, we deepen our understanding and intuition, hone our skills and arrive at dancing together.
