Wake up your body and feel energized for your day through dance-based facilitated improv.

This class starts gentle and takes you on an energetic arc similar to Ecstatic Dance, but with carefully placed prompts and cues to explore various mindful movement and dance techniques.

Come stretch out, roll around, and power pose until you are feeling inspired for your day ahead.

This offering is for all who are interested. No dance experience is necessary, only an open mind and a willingness to share respectful space with others.

And, this may be a great choice for ecstatic dancers curious about choreographical and dance/movement therapy terminologies.

When practiced regularly, somatic movement that centers the mind-body connection has the power to transmute emotional tension and release stress, alleviate anxiety, and positively impact things like posture, flexibility, range of motion, balance, and coordination.

You will be encouraged to create meaningful relationships with these parts of their bodies, and fill up your own cup first, before setting off into your day and giving to the rest of the world.

Wear whatever you are comfortable stretching in. Self-massage or strengthening tools like foam rollers or therabands are welcome and will be encouraged during specific parts of the class.
