In this hour and a half class, students will explore different ways of moving their hips. Through a thorough warm-up, stretching, drills and a short movement combination, students are encouraged to approach the movements in class in a way that feels good to them. This class is taught in bare feet.

Please wear comfortable clothing you can move in!

All levels, bodies, and genders are welcome and encouraged to join!

This class is free for BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and people of color). $25 for non-BIPOC.
