In these classes we’ll get to know the fundamentals of Ballet technique through an every-body-is-a-dance-body lens. Whether you’re interested in taking Ballet for the first time, or returning as an adult after training in earlier years of your life, we’ll progress through the basics over 10 weeks together. This class is best taken as a series; we’ll add on vocabulary + skills cumulatively in each class. 

Open Ballet is an opportunity for folks who have had prior ballet training to come and take an open level class. Exercises will range from basic intermediate to advanced, and all levels are welcome. The class will be held in a true open format, and will begin with barre, followed by a traditional center and across-the-floor. This class is best suited for dancers who have had prior ballet training, and is suitable for folks looking for a drop-in class. 

In this class we’ll explore introductions to contemporary technique through conditioning, authentic movement, and phrasework. We’ll use effort as an engine to create different textures and stamina in our bodies, and learn authentic movement techniques and phrasework. This is a beginner level drop-in class - absolute beginners welcome!

Open Contemporary is an open level drop-in contemporary class. We’ll begin most classes with a warmup including structured exercises and guided improv, and continue on with phrasework. This class pulls from various contemporary techniques, with a focus on intuitive movement and creative choice making. Dancers are encouraged to research their authentic voice as a mover while taking risks in their movement. This class is best suited for dancers who have prior dance training - all levels welcome!

Queer Body Jam/Improv is a monthly dance/flow class for Queer Bodies! This is an all-levels movement class made for every body. We will move through 60 minutes of open-format continuous movement, guided by vocal and movement cues. No previous dance experience necessary - willingness to sweat and stay open minded welcome! The goal of this class is to create a safe space for Queer folks to practice an embodied mind+body connection through joy, effort, texture, stamina, and release. 

I’m available for private coaching for dancers seeking more technical training in Ballet and Contemporary forms. I’m here to help support your goals - whether it’s getting stronger en pointe or feeling more comfortable with floorwork.
