WORKSHOP

soft-body-dance-party

Soft-body-dance-party is an exercise class for your inner child, designed with the adult body in mind. Practically speaking, this is an all-levels dance class mixing contemporary dance and light aerobics. Poetically speaking, it’s 90s VHS workout meets modern-dance-embodied-awareness meets your 7th grade sleepover at 3 am.

Expect to: move your body with rigor, laugh, learn some dance steps, make connections, breathe deeply, release, and soften. ‘

No dance experience necessary! Please wear clothing that makes you feel fun and lets you move freely. The living room is a shoe-free space. The class will end with some time for reflection, so a journal is encouraged.

Price: $25 (Due to limited capacity, event tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable.)
