ADT Ensemble Artist, Kealoha Ferreira, guides this weekly dedication to the vitality and life force of Water. In class, we will offer breath, dance, meditation, story, song, and reflection. Each class will take shape a little differently, staying responsive to the ongoing movements protecting the sacredness and longevity of water worldwide. Water Dances will begin with grounding movement, flow into dedicated time for personal practice/research/reflection, and close with collective sharing.

Class meets weekly on Wednesdays, from 9:45-11:00am, at the Shawngrām Institute for Performance and Social Justice. All who are committed to deepening their relationship with Water are welcome to participate. No previous dance experience is required. Sliding scale price: $0-$20.

Yorchhā Elements offers the foundations of a Yorchhā movement vocabulary. Yorchhā is Ananya Dance Theatre’s trade-marked contemporary technique that intersects principles of vinyasa yoga, classical Indian dance form Odishi (from the eastern Indian state of Odisha), and martial art form Chhau (also from Odisha). These traditional aesthetics are refracted and reimagined through transnational-feminist practices of solidarity and resistance to create a contemporary vocabulary of movement that dances forward our dreams for a just world.

Instructor: Kealoha Ferreira
Sliding scale price: $0-$20

CFPA’s Creative Ballet for ages 7-12 is designed to inspire the creative imagination of budding artists while learning fundamentals of ballet. Students will learn the fundamentals of ballet while being introduced to other movement, music, and art forms.

Students will explore the basics of ballet: alignment and posture, outward rotation or turn out, strength, flexibility and ease of motion, spatial relationships and sharing space with others, the pleasure of moving to live music, and the joy of discipline. This program supports non-binary gender identification. The students will present a piece that incorporates both their ballet and their other artistic adventures.

We strive to enrich lives by fostering creativity, body awareness, and self-expression in a fun, non-competitive, welcoming environment. We offer ongoing dance classes in-studio, on Zoom, and outside (weather permitting).

Join us this winter for a series of open classes at TU Dance Center. Teaching artists include TU Dance Founder and Artistic Director Toni Pierce-Sands, along with Wendy Anderson, Non Edwards, Hassan Ingraham, Laurel Keen, Anna Pinault, and Abdo Sayegh-Rodriguez.

The technique classes are for intermediate/advanced dancers, and the GYROKINESIS® and Dance/Yoga classes are for physically active people.

The GYROKINESIS® Method is a movement method that addresses the entire body, opening energy pathways, stimulating the nervous system, increasing range of motion, and creating functional strength through rhythmic, flowing movement sequences. It is an original and unique method that coordinates movement, breath, and mental focus. The GYROKINESIS® Method is practiced on a mat and chair.

Please check the Open Class Calendar, as classes and/or teaching artists might change.
Cost: $16/class or $140/10 classes
