Democratic Dance Session
I will be leading a dance session as a part of the Movement Research Spring Festival 2009: Roll Call. Come and enjoy a dynamic, rhythmic, high-energy communal movement session for people of all levels and interests.  Drawing from elements of social, folk, and contemporary dance forms, as well as athletic training, we will discover the kinaesthetic sensitivity of a dynamic body-in-motion. We will continuously locomote through space discovering co-ordination potential, while rocking out to some sweet jams.
