Beginner contemporary dance class with multidisciplinary artist and dance educator Kait Ramsden, artist in Residence at qathet ART Centre.Beginner contemporary dance class is for exactly who you think – beginners! Trying something new is hard, and this class holds space for the bravery of showing up for yourself and trying something new.
This class is loosely based in “release technique” which is a way to describe different ways to roll around and get in and out of the floor. During our workshop we will explore rolling, joint mobility, balance, strength, jumps, and breath work for grounding and healing.
Kait will act as a guide throughout the class, but encourages participants to listen to their body as the ultimate guide. Any forms of movement or modifications in class are welcome.
Class will be accompanied by live electronic musician Big Zen who will support our movement with lush ambient sounds and big electronic beats.
Participants encouraged to wear comfortable clothing with long pants and sleeves to assist with sliding on the floor.
$20 (sliding scale accepted)
Pre-registration preferred, as space is limited.
This is a beginner class, but all skill levels welcome.
