with KIM EPIFANO at ODC COMMONS

JANUARY 7 - February 25, 2012
Saturdays, 12:15 pm-2:00 pm
All levels are welcome

Kim's class builds contact improvisation skills to open the imagination and the body to every dancer's potential. Students explore their individual creativity, balance, and body awareness while learning to move in relation to their self, the floor, and a partner. By sharing weight, strength, space and gravity, participants learn how to trust and be trusted while falling on and off the edges of their bodies. We will explore how the ending of one move is the beginning of another and how to utilize momentum to continue the progressive nature of the dance. Be prepared to sweat, have fun and enhance you dance!
