Natalie considers life to be a co-creative venture and carries this awareness into the classroom. Breath is a prominent focus of her warmup, energizing both the physical and emotional bodies from deep within, creating space between the bones and fostering stability as well as expansion. Choreography explores the connective tissue - how we dance through our transitions. Movement is taught through imagery and attention to visceral experience. With a clear understanding of which body part is leading at any given moment, we pave the way for authentic and profound expression. Class is open to all levels, beginner to advanced, with a positive focus on the realization of new possibilities so that each student may expand their understanding of their own capabilities, no matter their current level.
