What becomes possible in your movement when you listen first before you respond?

How might you cultivate a creative voice that can follow your body’s “yes” and honor its “not yet”?

Listening—real listening—is its own kind of movement practice. This chapter invites you into the subtle, the honest, and the barely-there signals that shape your creative voice.

Together, we’ll explore how attunement expands choice, how quiet changes the texture of improvisation, and how presence deepens connection with yourself, with space, and with whatever (or whoever) you’re moving with.

What magic can we find when we make friends with the things we tend to avoid?

What can we learn when we slow down and ask our body what it knows?

Join us in our kick-off month as we explore sitting in, moving with, and squeezing every last drop out of our movement with this dive into doing less.

What new choices can we unlock in our freestyle when we bring awareness to our patterns; the ones we want to make and the ones we want to break?

Join us in our second month as we explore how we can freestyle not from a place of tension, but from a place of geniune curiosity.

How can we infuse more of who we are into our freestyle?

Join us in our third month as we explore how we can use movement exploration and freestyle exercises to discover who we are in the music, in the moment, and in the movement.

What does it feel like to claim space with your body?

What limits - inside and out - keep you from fully expanding in your movement?

How do you take up more space physically, energetically, and unapologetically?

Join us in this chapter as we explore the reclamation of space, helping you to own your movement with more confidence and presence.

What patterns or pathways does your body return to, and why?

What new possibilities open up when you move beyond the familiar?

Join us in this chapter as we playfully navigate the infinite directions the body can travel—through space, sensation, and intention. Discover new movement possibilities as you trace, disrupt, and reinvent the routes your body instinctively follows.

How does it feel to come back after distance, pause, or change?

Where do I land when I arrive in my body or back into my practice in the here and now?

This month we honor the act of coming back — to practice, to community, to the body, to ourselves. Together we make a conscious choice to step back into movement, creativity, and connection, exploring the different ways we “arrive” again (and again).

What forms, energies, or characters want to emerge in my movement?

What parts of me are ready to transform through shape?

Shapeshifting asks us to embody change: to move between strength and vulnerability, stillness and wildness, human and creature, self and other. Facilitators invite play within the body through creative shape-making, character, or even archetypes — loosening the boundaries of what movement and presence can be.

What happens when I let myself yield, rather than push? Where do I long to soften?

How do I experience strength through gentleness or vulnerability?

This month we lean into the quiet power of softening. Softness is not weakness, but deep strength: the ability to yield, receive, and open. It can be the pause after effort, the exhale after expansion, the tenderness underneath defenses. Classes may focus on gentleness, surrender, intimacy with sensation, and finding fluidity through relaxation.

What am I ready to let go of? What space is created when I put something down?
How does it feel in my body to release, soften, or surrender?

As the year closes, we honor the act of release — letting go of what no longer serves, loosening our grip, and creating room for what’s next. Facilitators explore exhalation, unwinding, cathartic movement, helping you to create space to breathe and move through the end of this year.
