Sunday Class/Jam at the Arlington Center
"Sunday Special" Guest Teacher June 2, 2013
(usual time and location, see below)
with ⇒ Shakti Andrea Smith
Space Within Us, Space Around Us
In a safe and grounded space we'll visit the land of Contact Improvisation. Class will include luscious warming up, bodywork, and plenty of dancing. We'll cultivate a sense of the space within us, and its relationship to space around us (inner and outer kinespheres). Grounded building blocks and skills--infused with subtle awareness, gentleness, and play--will be inviting us towards a state of spontaneity and joyful partnering. Shakti considers the Boston area to be one of her main heart homes for Contact Improv; and is very happy to be coming back to teach a class for the present community, after teaching for many years in Cambridge in the 90's.
All levels welcome.

Where: Arlington CenterYoga Studio,
369 Mass. Ave., Arlington
