workshopping movement: type B dance
Is it just me, or is "just dance" easier said than done?
For many years I trained in a very Type A form of dance: classical ballet. It's only recently I've started to discover a totally different way of dancing, out of curiosity. Out of play. This way of moving, of flowing, has freed me from so much, including the deeply ingrained expectation to "look good".
"Every dancer dies twice — once when they stop dancing, and this first death is more painful." — Martha Graham
I would go so far as to say every human dies twice — once when they stop playing. So come and cheat Death, come flow with us!
**This is not a traditional dance class! Zero dance experience required.**

About these workshops: I teach movement that your body craves. Each workshop focuses on a different topic at the crossroads of dance, functional movement, mobility rehab, and philosophy. Each workshop is a research opportunity — we move and discover together 🌀
About me: 2 decades of dance. 12 years of chronic pain. Head, shoulders, knees, and toes. The purest love for dance, rhythm, and beautiful movement, and the deepest drive to cultivate a body that moves well — until it can't move any longer.
