Class Description
In this class, we will delve into the mirth of movement. Focus will be on the waves of energy moving us through space, and integrating individual expression within all of the exercises and phrase work. After a thorough warm-up, class enters a highly kinetic and fast-paced atmosphere in which we will concentrate on finding release, buoyancy, and fall and recovery. Our community will cultivate a joyful movement environment in which we support each other’s successes, and we will all leave class with positive energy to lead us into the rest of the week!

Experience
Advanced. Some intermediate.

Goals for participants
To bring their own style and individuality to the class.

Goals for me
To make it feel like it was worth their time.
