Spring 2025 Intermediate/Advance Contemporary Practice

**Intermediate/Advanced Adult Contemporary Practice DROP IN w/ rotating faculty**

**Sundays, January 12-June 8** **2:00-3:30PM *note that the time has been shortened to an hour and a half class time*** **33 Hawley St, in Carole's Dance Studio**

These are dance gatherings led by local and visiting professional dance artists. This is a time for us to experience what it means to be in a shared movement space again, in person, and be in community with one another. The structure of these classes is meant to be informal in nature, so dancers can get and give what they need. We are gathering for some nourishing movement and shared experience, with fantastic leaders to guide us. This technique class is a physical class working towards a grounded and direct approach to movement, infused with somatic principles and experiential improvisations. We will focus on the volume and weight inside the body and its relationship to the floor, bring awareness to the feet, spine, and pelvic floor, encourage the feeling of release in the limbs, and articulate falling and suspending off-center. Class work explores sensation, instinct, and the inherent musical phrasing inside the body. Open to all ages with previous experience.

**CLASS FEES:**

Student/Low Income: $15-$25
