Adult Movement / Dance If you have danced before in your life, or if you never danced and want to explore the way movement can open spaces in your body and mind while engaging your creative energy, this class is for you! It is my objective to create a space for movers to experience dancing without fear or judgment and to allow students to find their own pathway into the dance. We will explore basic dance technique in creative ways, and we will enjoy moving through space and time with wonderful music. Zumba Featuring aerobic interval training with a combination of fast and slow rhythms (salsa, merengue, cumbia, hip-hop etc.) that tone and sculpt the body. It is an all-over-body workout with emphasis on the gluts, legs, arms, abdominals, and the most important muscle of the body…THE HEART! Bellydance The ageless mystique of bellydance flows from a graceful partnership between music and physique. A dancer’s range of expression is powerful and integrates movement throughout body, mind & spirit. This course in classic bellydance works with the basics of supporting, stretching and strengthening the body. As we learn technique, we’ll explore how these basics integrate a relationship between the music and our own personal expression. All of this play and learning springs from balanced posture and movement, and the rhythms of the Middle East will enhance our study. We will focus on basic isolations, including slides, lifts and making hypnotic circles with chest and hips. Add in the fluid grace of snake arms, the simmering heat of shimmies, and we’ll be on our way, dancing the Silk Road together. Flamenco This class introduces you to the basics of flamenco dance, including its rhythm, footwork, and movements. Flamenco is a dance for all ages and abilities because it focuses on individual expression and enjoyment. While learning about the history and culture of the art form, you will see yourself grow stronger and more confident. Arm technique yields better posture and upper body flexibility from the isolations involved and learning footwork improves balance, coordination, and leg strength. * Strong-soled shoe with thick high heel required (such as a dress boot, character shoe, or flamenco shoe) Prerequisite: Approval by the instructor Learn more about our Dance teachers
