Description
This class looks at the mindset and method behind adapting dance movements when your mobility is restricted, whether through disability, injury, or other physical limitations. It is applicable to any movement-based performance. How can you safely dance when you're unable to perform certain steps without injury? What are the dangers of "pushing through," and how do you cultivate stage presence without sacrificing care and concern for your body? This class is devoted to disability theories and self-care practices and includes group discussion as well as a brief meditation.
