Alicia Grant
This class includes physical orientations to self, others, and space; a flowing transformation of movement proposals; and structured and open improvisations. Together, we will dig into dance and see if it can change our physiology. We will cultivate ways to dance with bodily joy and chaos. Expect a little: dancing alone and together; floating through your fluidic system; resonant sounding to tone the vagus nerve; orienting yourself to a vertical midline; armpit freedom; and lunging into consciousness. Participants are encouraged to respect their own limits and interests within the proposals of the class. Principles from the dance freak lineage and osteopathy will be shared through movement. Let's find some freshness and maybe even some new neural synapses!
