Since this is the first Monday of June, we will again have Live Music featuring the improvisational sensitivities of the incredible Ben Harris.

Each class will support your comfort, transformation and ecstasy as you become more alive in your body. Explore and expand your body’s deep intelligence through moving meditations, massage, weight sharing, partner and group exercises. Play and have fun as you find flexibility, grace and self-expression in your own body.
:::All levels of experience welcome in every session:::

You will:
- dance and move with more freedom, comfort, flexibility, ease and expressiveness in all contexts including “jamming” with a group
- develop concrete improvisation skills for dancing with a partner, including contact improvisation
- deepen listening and collaboration skills
- have fun while releasing inhibitions
- cultivate and nurture a dance practice that you can take with you anywhere
