ABOUT THIS CLASS

This class invites people of all ages and abilities to build upon embodied knowledge of the previous classes, this time with a nonstop rhythmic flow based on the weight shift of walking. We start by grounding ourselves by articulating the feet, then try various rhythmic foot patterns, directions, coordinations and level changes. We counterbalance movements of the lower body with the upper body, left with right, forward and backward, past and future, bringing movement to counter isolation and celebrate our collectivity! Playlist includes tracks by Navajo DJ Randy B, Robert Mirabal.
