Classes
Adult Group classes that are grounded in embodied dance/ creative/somatic practices. All are welcome. Bring your curiosity.
Prior to moving back to Michigan, I was a Seattle-based, professional dance artist since 1998. I’ve had the privilege to work with so many esteemed performers and choreographers over the years and to present my work nationally and internationally. In both my crafted and improvisational work, I was led with trust by my body, imagination, intuition, soul, and spirit. I find that curiosity and inquiry motors the art and craft of embodiment which supports presence. The creative process, rituals and ceremony of dance put me in communication and connection to the Flow, myself and others… and out of my head. My hope is to offer classes that bring people into contact with themselves, each other, and to cultivate presence. My classes encourage observation and play, feeling and imagination, and doing things in a way that feels best for you while saying yes to the invitation. To feel more alive and in connection afterword is important to me.
Feel it Move it Coming back to the body as a grounding source of health, imagination, and play. We will warm up with a variety of movement and awareness explorations then move into the restorative, expressive place of dance. Open to all experience levels.
Creative Circuitry This class begins with a somatic awareness practice or a thematic frame, followed by a circuit of meditation, movement, drawing/writing. Open to all experience levels, artists, writers, movers, and anyone looking for a multifaceted approach to creativity.
Elements Within Fire, Earth, Metal, Water, Wood…these are the elements alive in nature and within the human body. Through the embodiment and movement of these forces internally, we will cultivate internal and external harmony. Open to all adults and experience levels.
Dance in Play is rooted in contemporary/improvisation ideas and tools. We'll inspire movement in our bodies, make a dance in the moment WITH each other as a group.
