Barefoot Dance

This barefoot somatic dance class is an hour of moving and grooving with an emphasis on mobility and functional movement. There's outrageously good music for motivation and emotional connection. We tune into our bodies as we dance and move in ways that feel good. While there are steps to follow, improvisation and play also are encouraged.

Class Purpose and Values

We're here to have fun, get sweaty, be mindful, and go deep. 

 

As we dance, we connect: to our bodies, to each other, to music, to creativity. It feels good to move, and it can be easier and more fun to do that with others.

​

One of the most important parts of health and longevity is good connections with others. Please come to class and feel as if you belong to something and, importantly, that you bring something to the group. 

​

My teaching is influenced by my desire to connect with nature as well as my desire to support others. I want to be able to be myself in class -- authentic and messy -- and it's a joy to see that in you, too, as you dance.

 

I value body neutrality as I work to erase the harms of diet culture. Music in class also may reflect issues of social justice and the values of inclusivity, celebrating diversity, respecting others, and working toward equity for all.
