Open Level Improvisation Class
\n<\/strong>Special Guest Instructor
\n<\/strong>Loni Landon<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

This is an open level improvisation class. The class begins with a warm up incorporating imagery and investigation of the dancer’s own natural way of moving. We will create new pathways mentally and physically. We will also focus on the idea of abandonment and risk taking by different movement prompts. Looking forward to moving with you!<\/p>\n
