About this Event

We are all dancers and we all can move, just for the sake of moving. We will create new ways to express the joy of moving as we explore elements of free expression through both structured and improvised studies, and a little laughter yoga just for fun. We will discover making dances individually and with others. No stress, no worries, just creative wonder. No experience necessary. Come one, come all!

Mary has a BA in Dance Education from George Washington University. She continued training in NYC for 5 years, then studied and performed with Barbara Mettler of the Tucson Creative Dance Center. Barbara Mettler's life work was to encourage unbounded dance creativity. Her work developed as a response to Hitler's Nazi restrictions in Germany during WWII. Mary has taught, performed and choreographed dance wherever she has lived. In 1999, Mary helped found a dance collective in Olympia called RADCO (Random Acts of Dance Collective) in 1999. Mary will always dance and her favorite thing is to dance with others--anyone, anywhere.
