In it's tenth year of collaboration with Good Women's weekly class rotation, Raena offers a Barre class with thoughtful instruction for Edmonton dancers training for their movement craft. Utilizing the ballet barre to “push and pull”, Garuda barre work emphasizes opening up space in the body while strengthening alignment and the core muscles that support function and the vigour of dance athleticism. The movement is inspired by ballet, pilates and yoga offering a complete conditioning experience complimentary to various forms of dance technique.Raena Waddell celebrates her 26th year of leading inspired movement experiences for both emerging and established dancers in Edmonton. Over the course of two decades, she has premiered 18 short and full-length works presented across western Canada. Her curiosity surrounding dance adjacent practice led her to certifications in Pilates, Garuda, Yin Yoga and Myofascial Release, studying with mentors such as James D’Silva, Melanie Checknita, and Tracy Friesen. She instructs contemporary dance and dance-derived movement practices for dancers in partnership with Mile Zero Dance and Good Women Dance and for non-dancers alike at public recreation facilities through the city of Edmonton. Her creative philosophy is rooted in a trinity of listening, considering and trying: Listening deeply to what is being shared, considering all possibilities, and embodying ideas through movement without clinging to permanence.
