How we move through the world is an expression of who we are as individuals. The way we Improv_S16photo use our bodies in everyday life and relate to others physically communicates an enormous amount. In this innovative workshop series, renowned dancer, choreographer, and teaching artist Leslie Scates will facilitate a range of improvisational, non-contact movement exercises designed to promote personal expression and collaboration. These engaging exercises can help you nurture your creativity, recognize and foster your strengths as an individual, and enhance your ability to communicate in groups (such as teams, families, and coworkers). This workshop series is suitable for most fitness levels.

No dance or athletic experience is necessary to experience the freedom and joy of improvisational creative movement. Enroll individually or register with a friend.
