Sand Dancing [solo]
with Ewan Duncan
Originally taking its name from dancers covering a floor with sand, sand dancing encompasses a wide variety of cool slidy footwork across the range of Black American dance styles like blues and jazz.
In this class we will go over many fun steps and take inspiration from great dancers like James Brown, Harriet Browne and Sammy Davis Jr.
Important note: Slippery shoes or socks are needed for this class to make the steps easier.
Dance Storytelling [concept]
with Bibi
What does it mean to be a community? To be in the dance? In the moment? In our own body?
In this class we will connect with these ideas and feelings, explore them, let them move us… and surprise us!
If you are looking for a deeply touching and emotional experience… this is the class for you! There are beautiful stories to tell in each of you… so let’s dance them out!
