This class is designed to meet you where you are!

No matter what your previous movement 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 beginner and intermediate participants to deepen movement confidence, conceptual understanding and to explore personal freedom in their physical bodies. Discover new possibilities for movement and nurture spirits of autonomy and community in the process.

Beginner Breaking 8:00-9:30pm on Tuesdays

Breaking (“Breakdance”) is a form of street dance born in the 70s and showcases musicality, athleticism, creativity, and individuality. We will run through drills and techniques to practice form, and learn fundamental movements including toprocks, footworks, and freezes. Participants are encouraged to embrace the values of Hip Hop: peace, unity, love, and having fun.
