Creative Movement: Dance with Me!

At the intersection of somatic movement, dance, and theatre games, accentuating improvisation, the spoken word, and the expressive body, this six-week workshop series aims to spark one’s creativity and inner joy. Each class is designed to awaken the body and inspire the imagination through the joys and benefits of music and movement.

Inclusive in design and built for older adults, this workshop is open to all adults 55 and older, with special consideration given to those living with Parkinson’s and other neurological conditions.

We recommend participants wear comfortable clothing and bring water. The series takes place on the McDonnell Theater stage and occasionally within ArtYard's galleries. We're thrilled to welcome drop-in guest speakers during the series talk about current exhibitions.

Classes are on Wednesdays from 11 AM to 12:15 PM. The series runs on July 24 & 31, and August 7, 14, 21, & 28.

This workshop series is limited to 15 participants. No previous movement experience is necessary.
