Are you itching to maximize your reach in a very literal way? Do you find that your dance happens primarily between your shoulders and hips, while those lovely arms and legs waste away in relative obscurity? Through a combination of exercises drawn from contemporary dance, creative movement experimentation, and good, old-fashioned flopping around like a bunch of beached sea creatures, we'll work on finding out what goes on outside of the body column (and drill positions). The workshop comes complete with combinations you can take home in a treasure chest to play with to your heart’s content. Suitable for all levels.
3:30-4:30 Runic Dance: Magic in Motion with Daewen (A la carte price: $40)
3:30-4:30 Runic Dance: Magic in Motion with Daewen (A la carte price: $40)
Inspired by the Elder Futhark, Runic Dance is movement inspired by a mystical energy drawn from within. In this workshop, you will learn 3 runes' associations, then move through fusion dance combinations invoking those runes. We will invoke inner strength, confidence, and your unique power!
Dance experience is helpful, but not required!

4:30-5:30 Perfect Your Practice with Lisa Jean (A la carte price: $40)
So you want to improve your dancing and you know that you need to practice. But how the heck do you go about it without a teacher right there telling you what to do?
Let’s learn how to go about creating a sustainable and effective at-home dance practice. This workshop will take you from feeling lost and overwhelmed when thinking about practicing, to in-control and empowered.
