You might even call it "dance". We'll study support architecture in a variety of postures and sequences, emphasizing skeletal alignment, balancing tension forces, and breathing mechanics.Acrobatic Flow: Movement ExplorationThis class combines acrobatic maneuvers, floor-based flow dancing, and handstands. Strategies for loading hands/wrists, accessing your 'backspace', and generating power for quick twitch action will be discussed and practiced.AGILE BEAST: Crawl &amp; Climb, Run &amp; JumpWe evolved to move in particular ways, including locomotion patterns like crawling, climbing, walking and running; in turn, these patterns shaped our bodies and our potential. In this session we'll detail techniques for locomoting in a variety of ways, using them as a template for species-specific fitness training.Contact Improvisation: Technique &amp; ExperimentationThis session focuses on foundational CI techniques and partnering strategies. We'll then move toward more complex improvisation frameworks as a group.Attunement: Senses + GravityWe'll prepare for the jam by first connecting to the planet, feeling weight, activating sensory perception, and building spatial awareness. This provides a sovereign foundation for meeting others to dance and explore as social animals.Open Dance JamBe Free! This is an open opportunity for expressive movement (and stillness) as you like.
