July 22nd | 7:00pm-8:30pm | Arts Mission Oak Cliff
This month, Agora Artists is proud to bring local dancers a pop-up class at AMOC with Caroline Catingub!
Experience Level: 🔥 (trying something new--all levels!)
Pop Up Spine School is a class designed to bring whole body awareness to physical movement through principles that enhance fluidity and strength. We were created to create and experience natural movement in our bodies! In this class we will tap into universal movement patterns found in nature to enhance the ease and effortlessness of how we move in space. Through spinal curves, arches, spirals and rippling patterns we will explore how the body connects to inner and outside energy and allow this to increase our own self expression. The exercises are low impact and performed with purpose to incorporate breath technique and optimal nervous system function. No dance experience required but an appreciation of dance is desired.
