  • New Class! Footnotes (online)

    8-week session

    This fall, I’m offering a new step dancing class — live on Zoom — for students who are learning from Footnotes, my online library of steps. In this 60-minute class, we will check in in your progress, answer questions you may have, dance through the Footnotes steps together, and perhaps add a bonus step or two. This class is intended for Footnotes subscribers, but non-subscribers are welcome as well.

    Online classes are scheduled for Eastern Time. A Zoom link will be emailed to you 24 hours before the start of the first class. (Please make sure I have your correct email address.) Each class in this series will be recorded and made available to students for one week, before the next class.

    Mindful Movement (online)

    8-week session

    This 60 minute class invites students to come into deeper awareness of their physical, mental and energetic bodies — with a movement experience that fosters grounding, presence, release, and energy flow. Drawing from somatic practices such as Bartenieff Fundamentals, Polarity Yoga and dance improvisation, this is a restorative and enlivening class, fluidly paced to slow airs, waltzes and contemplative selections of Celtic music. Come nourish yourself with a gentle “reboot”! No experience necessary — all are welcome.

    Online classes are scheduled for Eastern Time. A Zoom link will be emailed to you 24 hours before the start of the first class. (Please make sure I have your correct email address.) Each class in this series will be recorded and made available to students for one week, before the next class.
