East Coast Tribal Technique Drills:
Thursdays: 5:15-6:25, Instructor: Noelle
Reinforce your weekly dance classes with open-level technique drills. Repetitive review of the fundamentals creates an excellent workout and promises to make the dancer feel more at ease within each step. We want to find ourselves in a place of enjoyment in our dance. This comes through visiting movements in-depth so that our body can take over and our mind is free to focus upon our heart.

We will engage in the performer aspect of our dance. What does this choreography mean to you? How does it make you feel? What would you like your audience to learn from it?

Free-Form Dance
with: Mz Meaghan Tiggrr Fearless
This class will return to us in the summer.
We all
have a dance living in our bodies which does not belong to any one
discipline, which is absolutely unique to each of us. In this workshop
we will journey deep within ourselves to free it. We will create a safe,
sacred environment in which we are encouraged to feel our
vulnerabilities and express our strengths, and will move through guided
meditations both in silence and with music. We will go forth into the
unknown, giving permission to ourselves to let go of the rulebook and
truly be danced. Whether a beginning-level seeker, a seasoned
ecstatic dancer, or anywhere in between, this session will inspire and
empower your personal creative process. Hopefully we will all have some
fun along the way! Bring a notebook or journal; as time and interest
allows, we will share our experiences with one another.
