Core Class - Monday, March 17th, 10 am to 11:30 am

Monday, March 17th, 10 am to 11:30 am
Class Instructor: Scott Wheet

Class Description: This class is designed for the intermediate to advanced dancer, with a focus on contemporary forms, floorwork and release. We'll prepare the body for movement through somatic prompts and gentle stretching, investigating concepts like gravity, effort, and momentum along the way. As our bodies become warm and available, I’ll facilitate bridging the gap between our horizontal and vertical bodies with pathways that explore folding, sliding, pushing and pulling. Over time, we will build a common vocabulary that layers upon itself, encouraging a flow-like state for full-bodied movement & expression.
