Saturday, March 14
🌿 Driftwood 🌿
10:00 AM – 12:00 PM
Composed and choreographed by Heather Marie and her partner Ryan Gates, Driftwood is a dynamic drum solo that blends traditional elements with Heather’s signature Liquid Fusion stylizations.
This is a two-part performance intensive:
✨ Part One (Pre-Event | Online)
Participants will receive 4 Zoom rehearsals leading up to show weekend, where we’ll break down crisp technique, intricate rhythms, and layered details of the choreography.
✨ Part Two (In-Person | Show Day)
On the day of the show, we’ll bring the entire dance together in a 2-hour in-person workshop, refining performance quality and preparing to take the stage.
🎩 Performance Opportunity:
Participants will perform Driftwood twice at Joanna Abel’s one & only Mad Hatter’s Tea Party on Saturday night (4 pm and 7 pm shows)!
From juicy isolations to bold accents, Driftwood is your chance to shine in a rhythm-packed, audience-wowing piece.

✨💓 MFR for Dancers 💓✨
11:00 AM – 1:00 PM
Let’s unwind.
This 2-hour rejuvenating playshop is designed to release built-up tension; whether it’s from a full weekend of performances or years of movement compensation patterns. Either way, your body will say: “Ahhhhh, thank you.”
We’ll explore:
• What fascia is and why it matters
• What Myofascial Release (MFR) is
• How to apply MFR techniques to yourself
• Which tools to use and how
All while test-driving juicy movement before and after applying these techniques so you can feel the difference in real time.
Benefits of MFR may include:
• Improved fascial hydration
• Stronger mind–muscle connection
• Enhanced proprioception
• Deeper states of relaxation
• Improved muscular glide and mobility
• Increased flexibility
• Reduced tension
✨ No experience necessary!
Please bring:
• Golf ball
• Tennis ball
• 2 lacrosse balls
• 1 softball
• Yoga mat
• Water 💦
