Join us every Tuesday for FlowShop!This Tuesday, July 9th we'll be featuring a workshop with Bay Area artist, Dresden Blue!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dresden Blue is an artist based out of the Vulcan in Oakland CA. Since 2009, she fuses martial arts, dance, and circus into a unique and distinctive style with a wide variety of props, bringing in elements as varied as tai chi, tango, and modern dance.
Dresden's current work focuses on integrating fire dancing with partner dance. They have been teaching and performing with partner Sterling since 2019, with a focus on partner rope dart, partner double staff, and partner dragon staff.

*Teaching: Double Staff Toroidal T-Tech Tetris
This class starts with a simple two-dimensional paradigm with “T” and “X” based patterns that can be formed in same, split, and quarter time. These patterns can then be tucked into the body to form a wide variety of orthogonal body tracers. These patterns will then be extended into the third dimension.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What about the Open Jam?
The park has plenty of space for all of us to flow! Our open jam will be going on as usual. Please be respectful to the class taking place.
