Before the Jam Classes, 2017
Alli Ross: Teaching March 21th and 28th, 2017
Hummingbird Humming Bird... Land!
© Erich LudwigClass Description: Someone once encouraged me to find the places in my life to simplify and settle, and then, from there, let action emerge. I notice this tendency in the dance as well. When am I interested in fluttering around? Entering and exiting dances at quick tempos? and letting the excitement of each moment, each possibility take me? And then, when and how do I grow and deepen my presence in a dance, challenge my desire to leave a dance, and allow for outside action to fly by while remaining where I am?
In our 2 week series, March 21st, 28th we will explore these layers of entering and exiting dances, embodying, challenging and celebrating our hummingbird like tendencies. All levels and abilities are welcome.
