Pro Dance Workshop: Emotions in Verticality

In this class you'll delve into the concepts of flow, momentum, and improvisation, integrating the idea of presence while becoming a "vertical creature." Rooted in the principles of contemporary dance technique, we'll dig into the relationship between space and our physicality, fostering a deeper understanding of ourselves through movement.

This class is open to dancers and movers of any age or acting background. All welcome. It will be physical, fun and truly emotional.
