Mindful Movement with heather Myers

Wednesdays 9:30-11:00am

All Levels welcome, no experience required.

Welcome Heather Myers to the Victoria dance community! Don’t miss this opportunity to work with such warm talent!

This series invites you to delve into your internal landscape, expand personal and creative process, & connect to artful resources for inspired living. Drawing on professional improvisation tools, the expressive arts & an intuitive approach to dance, Mindful Movement offers a space for playful exploration, self-reflection, & holistic wellness.

Engage with a gentle sensory warm-up, specific improv exercises, rhythm-based release, creative tasks, meaning-making prompts, sharing, & discussion. Classes may incorporate writing or drawing activities to inform & articulate our dance-based journey. By focusing the experience of moving, rather than steps, this work calls upon the unique wisdom that dwells in every individual – empowering an embodied knowing, interpretive agility & authentic expression.

Contact Improvisation with Stacey Horton

COMING SOON

All Levels welcome, no experience required.

Join us for a workshop that welcomes dancers of all levels to enhance their improvisational skills! We’ll explore the fundamentals of contact and release through sensitivity, deep listening, and body awareness. The session includes a guided individual warm-up and progressive levels of touch and ends with the creation of a group score. Dive into dynamic movement exploration and play in a supportive and creative environment.

Dancer Massage Release Workshop with Kathy Lang

COMING SOON

All Levels and All Bodies!

In this workshop Kathy will offer a massage release technique for dancers that she studied with Debra Shantz of Mile Zero Dance. This work is quiet, and based on offering rhythmic soft pressure, allowing the fascia to soften and the body to open to its natural flexibility without tension, while calming the nervous system.

The time will be split into two identical sessions where dancers will work with a partner. Dancers will learn and offer the technique to their partner, then a short break, then swap.

We will begin our focus at the feet, travel up through legs, hips, back, shoulders and neck.

Wear comfortable warm clothing. Some yoga mats available.

Register early and claim your spot. We need there to be an even number of dancers so the list will be monitored closely.

Walk Ins Welcome, space permitting and even number of dancers in the class.
