Using Japanese Butoh and post-modern improvisation dance principles we cultivate embodied mindfulness through movement. With simple directions, we can move with ease while expanding creativity and movement capacity. This work can be done at many levels and challenges both the beginner and professional dancer. If you can walk, you can do this dance work and find ease and joy in your movement.

Admission is free. Please note that registrations are taken on a first come, first served basis.

This class is suggested for teen and adult community members.
