Drop-in for a high-energy Modern dance class (1 hr. 45 min.) with Marisa f. Ballaro of Ballaro Dance!

THE VIBE: Explore space with curiosity and lean into your performing self. Utilizing breath and a connection with space and community, explore full-bodied movement with abandon and expression. Use a ‘practice as performance’ approach, build sensitivity while enlivening the senses. Let’s sweat, swing, breathe, and connect!

THE CLASS: Rooted in four interconnected foundations including the Graham/Taylor lineage, emphasizing contraction, spirals, and spatial tension; the Humphrey/Limón principles of fall and recovery, swing, and dynamic texture; contemporary biomechanical and somatic approaches, including Simonson Technique, which support efficient, sustainable, and injury-aware movement; and the expressive legacy of Anna Sokolow, where movement emerges from emotion and gestures carry narrative meaning.
