Cost: $10-20 sliding scale
Description: This workshop will include all the elements of our weekly dance practice classes, just with a slower pace and more individual attention toward the foundations and building blocks of a safe ballet practice. We'll go at the pace that suits you, as always practicing kindness and patience with our bodies. We may journal our intentions together to bookend our movement practice.
What to bring/expect: A notebook and pen/pencil, if you have one (I can provide them if you don't!) This event will be interactive, but I encourage participants to take what they find valuable and leave what they don't — just wear comfortable, moveable clothing.
