With a thorough warm up and new and invigorating combinations, students will express themselves artistically and enhance their unique movement and performative qualities in choreographed phrase work.

Reiki Infused Movement

Reiki Infused Movement Class is an open level improvisation class, meaning any or no training. All are welcome to move their body freely without judgment or fear of "keeping up". This class can be looked at as a body meditation class where we’ll be prompted with different images, sensations, and general movement tasks to interpret in our own unique way. We start with our eyes closed and try to avoid seeing our image in hopes of drawing our attention to how the body feels while moving intentionally and dynamically.

Using the chakra system as a movement score, we investigate the properties and functions of each of the seven chakras (energy centers in the body) through physical interpretation. Having a blockage in a particular chakra is like a stone in a stream, it is blocking the free flowing movement of energy in the body. Through intention, focus, and guided movement tasks our goal is to open blocked chakras. I am a certified Okuden Level II Reiki Practitioner, interested in exploring how reiki can influence movement and vice versa. Join me in playing where these two worlds collide.

This class is a time for you to feel embodied and empowered.

Class Rate: $10

There is no dress code for this class, just come in clothes that feel good and you can move in.

Beginner Jazz

Class will begin with a Luigi Method inspired classical jazz warm up. We will then further our understanding of the jazz technique and terminology by moving across the floor. Finishing the class with a jazz combination/phrase with a contemporary influence.

This class is at a beginner pace and requires no previous training, although it’s great for the dancer who has some ballet or movement experience and wants to try something new or come back to a familiar form. I have always found the jazz form to be full of life and play so my drive to teach this class comes from a place of fun and passion. We’ll get our sweat on and giggle along the way.

Dress Code: Anything you can move in while seeing the lines of your body. Jazz shoes, Ballet shoes, or even socks with some grip.

Class Rate: $10
