About the classes

In this 2 hours class, you will be coached through movement modalities using animal flow to hone and craft strength, bi-pedal and lateral movement patterns, and groove/rhythm based dancing. The class draws on the techniques of house, breaking, limon, and capoeira for drill and basics, then amplifying (based on the participant) to higher stakes movement. The class is not recommended for those without a personal movement practice that does not already incorporate one of the listed techniques. Please bring clothing appropriate for you to perform floorwork elements.
