Kate’s class will include a guided warm up, and will incorporate floor work, longer phrases, shifting off centre, and travelling through space. The class will combine set exercises and improvisations, and is geared toward intermediate/advanced movers, although all are welcome! We will investigate the body’s relationship to gravity and momentum, and find pleasure in digging deep for sensations and moving our bodies with our pals!
