CLASS DESCRIPTIONS
Bellydance with Michelle
Introductory class to a low-impact art form. Weβll begin with posture, learn and drill muscle isolations and fluid movement in our hips, chest & arms, and discover combinations resulting in a short learned choreography to the classic George Abdo song, Hadouni Hadouni.
Perception of Movement with Bruce
This inclusive dance class explores how movement is perceived across a range of masculine and feminine expressions. Weβll look at elements like weight, posture, and presence, and how they shape character and performance.
Dancers will build versatility by practicing shifts between different movement qualities and styles, including hip hop, jazz, modern, and African and Latin dance. Expect a space focused on exploration, expression, and growth.
