PlayGround is a dynamic dance and movement session, designed for grown-ups who want to feel like kids again. This non-stop hour provides the exhilaration of movement with the grounding power of stillness and awareness. Each session will integrate structured form with playful freedom, creating a space where mastery and novelty can coexist – ideal for keeping our brains sharp! The music selection is designed to engage your senses and allow for emotional expression. This class invites you to explore freedom and creativity while cultivating deep presence and embodied awareness. Playground offers a balance of stimulation and grounding that leaves you feeling revitalized and connected.

PlayGround can be as vigorous or gentle as you desire and can be modified from seated. PlayGround draws from dance, martial arts, yoga, Nia, Authentic Movement and more, and no previous experience in any of these forms is required. Barefoot or non-street-shoes.

What is the legacy of the genre/form/style you are teaching?

Playground is Nia-inspired but delivered differently. In this class, we work a bit more collectively as a community of facilitators and participants, who all have something to share. Techniques and practices are delivered by the facilitator; playlists and choreography are often shaped by the entire commUnity.

What background, training, and or relationship do you have with this style/technique/class subject?

PlayGround is primarily facilitated by Julianne Corey. From Julianne: My movement background includes ballet, yoga, somatic movement and mindfulness training. I am an Expressive Arts Therapist, both working in a clinical practice and teaching in the field. I hold the MFA in Creative Writing, Nia Black Belt, a variety of yoga certifications and I am a former member of the International Nia Training faculty, as well as Senior Lecturer at Lesley University. I taught Nia for over 20 years.

Finish this statement: I am passionate about teaching this style because…

……Because having a physical practice that brings me back to my senses, fuels my curiosity and makes room for everything I feel – however I show up – is life affirming… and I love sharing that with others!
