ABOUT THE CLASS
Walking into Dancing
How might we understand alignment and posture as something that is always moving and fluid? How are we balancing our moving and breathing selves through space? This class integrates postures, pedestrian movement and your best dance moves into a physical conversation with others. We will also learn Swimming Dragon Qigong a dynamic, and serpentine movement practice designed to open the spine, release stagnant energy, and build leg strength. Everyone is welcome.
