Adult Recreation
Our adult recreational program of contemporary dance classes is designed for individuals who want to experience the joy of movement through contemporary dance. Classes are held on Tuesday evenings, and are suitable for dancers aged 16+, with any level of experience (including complete beginners)
ADULT CONTEMPORARY DANCE
with Megan Nadain
If you have a passion (or just a curiosity) for contemporary dance, we invite you to join us to reconnect with ourselves and each other through movement in a stimulating and supportive environment with live music. The class uses technique as a pathway to fluid and powerful physical expression and integrates principals of a variety of contemporary dance practices. Starting with floor work, moving to standing material and eventually progressing to longer travelling phrases, the class integrates the fundamentals of various movement practices using breath, weight, energy, and flexibility.
ADULT CONTEMPORARY DANCE
with Katie Adams-Gossage
No matter what your previous dance experience may be, Katie’s class meets you where you are and invites you to work at your individual pace. Warm up, preparatory exercises, and extended dance phrases emphasize ease, coordination, sensation, and fulfillment on the floor, standing, and moving through space. Movement offerings provide a terrain for participants to deepen movement confidence, conceptual understanding and to explore personal freedom in our physical bodies. Join us as we discover new possibilities for movement and nurture our spirits of autonomy and community in the process!
