Class Description:
In phases and phrases, we will move in the space, working on a variety of coordinations on the floor, out of the floor, and everything in between. Traveling with a sense of release, playing with varieties of transitions, gathering/propelling energies, finding spirals to change directions, using total bodied movement and falling on diagonals.
