IN CLASS, we work with the body’s relationship to the floor through joints and skeleton. We catch momentum and create a spectrum of muscle tone and release. We run and move at high speed—allowing our intelligent bodies to become fully immersed in the act of doing. We spiral—through ourselves, between one another through space—with attentiveness and a shared focus that arises from the collective presence of “doing dancing”. Class starts softly and intuitive with warm up and simple across-the-floor patterns before increasing in energy and tone.
