Classes/Workshops | Private Lessons
Calendar View | July | August
Through the lens of traditional moves movement, my classes are jam packed with tons of technique, with an eye on posture, alignment and natural body movement. You'll come away not only with new moves but an understanding of why we do things the way we do.
If you are interested in private lessons or semi-private lessons for
you and a group of freinds, something can be always be arranged via email.
