Afro-Po-Mo!!

Class Description
Afro-Po-Mo draws from diverse movement styles, approaches, and practices that include modern, post-modern, and ballet techniques, dance forms from the African diaspora, martial arts, improvisation, kinesiology, and physical conditioning. This class will focus on rhythm and momentum, strength and endurance, somatic efficiency and presence, dynamic clarity and nuance, expressivity in the torso and pelvis, and an effort to reconnect to the joy and passion of moving. Open to all abilities, previous movement experience encouraged.
