DANCE MAKING FOR THE ZOOM STAGE! (ages 8-12): This class is meant to inspire kids to fearlessly dive into the process of dance making and performing while learning about the important histories of dance! We will work to discover one’s own creative voice, as both a maker and performer on Zoom, our new virtual stage! We will play with choreographic and devising processes in relation to our own home spaces that spur choice-making, playfulness, collaboration, and bravery. This class is for all levels of experience.

AFRICAN DIASPORA (ages 9-12): Learn dances from throughout the African Diaspora such as Latin, Jazz, Social, Hip-hop, and Traditional African dance. By exploring world cultures we enrich ourselves and learn the many ways we are connected in the world. Students will learn about elements of history, influential figures and learn to build confidence in exploring various movement styles.

Instructor: Sakina Ibrahim
TEEN/ADULT CONTEMPORARY TECHNIQUE (ages 13+): This morning technique class is an intermediate level class for teens and adults. This will be a time to breath, ground, groove, and invert. There will be space for getting lost in somatic places, some release technique, and time for task-based, narrow focused work. We will sweat, we will investigate pelvic half differentiation and feats of strength. We will challenge how we approach dance class and how we see each other. Some yawning, some good jams.
