About this Event

Welcome to Spring with its warmth, light, and even rain. We will explore new ways to move, alone and with others, through creative dance. We will find new ways to celebrate the beautiful days of light--no stress, no worries–just creative wonder.

Mary Nelson 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.
