Class description 
The exercises will lay a reliable base for the dancers to tune into their bodies' energetic wiring. We will build a strong and steady blood flow through light conditioning and grounding progressions; dive into partner stretch/work; and finally dig into form work.

Experience required for the participants 
The only thing required of you [the one joining this session] is willingness to maintain a curious and loving dialogue with your own body, and everyone else's bodies by implication.

Goals for participants 
"Moment to moment, move from where you are, not to where you think you should be."

Goals for teacher 
​While there is great value in explanation, maybe I can work more on letting students figure some things by themselves. Not something crazy like front flips, but more like letting them listen to their foot-hip connection while shifting through a certain position.
