- What we do in class:
We make time to become present and allow for awareness and acceptance of the state of our
minds, bodies and spirit
We focus attention on our breath, stretch and strengthen muscles, isolate body parts in
movement, move in patterns and to rhythms, use our voices, create original movement, learn
sequences of steps, and dance individually, with partners and as a group in either standing or
seated positions
We dance to live musical accompaniment and various genres of recorded music to enhance
our movement, listening skills and emotive responses
We have a good time! There is an emphasis on having fun and connecting with others.
