Class Description:
Starting off with a kinetic and athletic warm-up which involves a full integration and application of the natural forces of the body from the ground up. Understanding how each human body is unique in function and recalling how the world of children and animals are driven to move, the class explores the lost art of movement and physical play. Tapping into the natural intelligence of the body, the class leads into movement phrases along with group improvisations. Through guided exploration, we will create organic movement for our bodies.
