“We can sense the world around us only because we are entirely a part of this world, because - by virtue of our own carnal density and dynamism - we are wholly embedded in the depths of the earthly sensuous. We can feel the tangible textures, sounds and shapes of the biosphere because we are tangible, resonant, audible shapes in our own right. We are born of these very waters, this very air, this loamy soil, this sunlight. Nourished and sustained by the substance of the breathing earth, we are flesh of its flesh. We are neither pure spirits nor pure minds, but are sensitive and sentient bodies able to be seen, heard, tasted, touched by all the beings around us.”

— - David Abram, Becoming Animal

Beyond Ballet is an embodied ballet barre class that uses a somatic approach with the use of ballet vocabulary. We explore through a ballet vocabulary the interaction between internal and external environments, sensing the side seams and spirals of the body, using experiential anatomy, awareness of gravity, and articulation of the spine.

This unique class is like focuses on deep relaxation with a body-mind integration

All levels and ages are welcome!
