modern dance technique

wednesdays 10:30am-12pm

Wanna get sweaty and smile, hearts pounding, bodies open?

Honouring the legacies of modern dance shared with me by David Earle and Suzette Sherman, this class integrates seated floorwork, standing technique practice, phrase work, and floor crossing exercises. We will drop, balance, spiral, fall, tilt, run and fly! 

With live accompaniment and sound design from Adam Bowman, it will be a continuous 90-minutes of familiar forms and evolving phrases supported by rhythmic soundscapes. 

Experience with modern dance or other classical forms recommended — or a courageous willingness to follow the flow of others!

January 8 -April 30 2025 (no class March 12)

creative practice

thursdays 7:30-9:15

pm

Moving together in openness and curiosity, developing our capacity to hold (and maybe even celebrate) mystery.

We will compose in the moment through a balanced awareness of personal and relational needs, generously investigating the responsibility and consequence of choice-making. Through experiments with structures that range from props to jazz standards to haiku poetry, new skills for your emerging or ongoing practice of dance-theatre improvisation will be developed.

Curated playlists, guest instructors and guest musicians throughout the 15-week experience.

a workshop series for those new to dance

If you are looking for a way into dance, either for the first time or after many years out of practice, this may be it! We will tune-in and get moving to many genres of music in ways that are fun, functional, expressive, and welcoming.

10:30am-12pm each day

Cost: $150

Customized dance experiences are also possible; from private sessions to a small group workshop series to full-day adventures. If you have always wanted to try dance but can’t find an appropriate class, or need support for your choreographic ideas, or have another desire that involves music and dancing, get in touch!
