Slow Flow (open level improvisation)

Mondays (first 2 Mondays of every month)
6:30-8:00pm at transcenDANCE (5700 El Cajon Blvd, San Diego, CA 92115)

CLASS DESCRIPTION:
Slow Flow is an open level space to explore the fundamentals of movement in community. Incorporating yogic and somatic teachings, we will cultivate embodied awareness by moving through both set material and improvisational inquiries. Through mindful movement, we will investigate movement pathways that support ease and safety. Come as you are, leave with a grounded spaciousness in the body/heart/mind. Please wear pants, as we will spend a good amount of time on the floor, and if you have sensitive knees feel free to bring knee pads.

Face Mask Mandatory Contemporary (open level)

1st Friday of each month
6:30-8:00pm at 1100 Kettner Blvd

CLASS DESCRIPTION:
Focusing on access for immunocompromised and COVID-conscious folx, this face mask mandatory class will provide foundations for contemporary dance, including floorwork and inversions, supporting both those new to contemporary dance and seasoned dancers. Through guided improvisation and choreographed exercises we will explore moving the body safely, efficiently, and dynamically throughout the space. There will be warming-in, phrase work, across the floors, and an ending combination. Be ready to tune into your body’s sensations and challenge yourself to think and move in different ways.
