Hi Everyone--


I've just scheduled a new workshop at Wellness
Partners in the Arts, downtown Durham. Hope to see some repeat
attenders from our Spring partnering workshop, and lots of new faces as
well.

The Mechanics of Partnering

a Creative Body workshop, Saturday, September 24, 1-3:30 pm

Wellness Partners in the Arts, 319 W. Main Street, Durham

www.wpadurham.com

In
this workshop, we will focus on the mechanics of weight and balance in
partnered movement. We'll develop skills in giving and receiving body
weight, center of gravity awareness, and how best to avoid injury when
dancing with a partner. We'll progress to learning more complex lifts,
and develop our own short duets. This workshop is ideal for both the
seasoned partner and the mover who wants to learn new partnering
skills. Some dance or martial arts experience recommended.   

$35, $30 for registrations received before September 17.  

Scholarships and work-study available.

Teacher
Rachel Brooker draws on her experience in a variety of dance and
bodywork techniques to create her supportive, transformative teaching
technique. For more information, visit www.animadance.org.

Explore the many possibilities of modern dance. We'll begin with a
basic warmup that brings awareness to the entire body and gets us ready
to move- then we'll learn longer movement sequences, sometimes working
with partners, and generally getting a move on! This class is
appropriate for beginning dancers or those with less than two years
experience.
