This open level Modern is a gentle movement class open to all; absolute beginners welcome. Drawing from traditional and contemporary forms, we will warm ourselves and practice full, unapologetic embodiment. Class will include phrasework, improvisation, and follow-along exercises to help us cultivate buoyant, adaptive bodies. We will sweat, stretch, and condition.

**SOMATIC TECHNIQUES**

Fridays, 9-10am in Carole's Dance Studio at 33 Hawley St

***Register***

SCDT's movement mission is based in experimental and healing somatic practices. This fall, SCDT shares a collection of incredible local teachers who introduce somatic forms such as: Alexander Technique, Feldenkrais, and Body Mind Centering. Come if you want to transform how you experience and interact with your bodymind. These methods not only help with physical alignment and movement efficiency but also support emotional and mental well-being. Whether you're looking to heal, improve your posture, or simply explore new ways of moving, these approaches can provide valuable insights and tools. Enjoy the journey of exploration and self-discovery this Spring!

Students will be invited into contemporary approaches to ballet techniques that include kindness, rigor, coordination, curiosity, and specificity.  Together, we will deepen physical exploration and expand knowledge of movement vocabulary.  In these classes, dancers will learn and increase familiarity with ballet terminology, and apply anatomical information for maximized freedom within form, function, and joy.

**INT/ADV CONTEMPORARY**

Sundays, 2-3:30pm with Rotating Teachers

***Register here***

These are dance gatherings led by local and visiting professional dance artists. This is a time for us to experience what it means to be in a shared movement space again, in person, and be in community with one another. The structure of these classes is meant to be informal in nature, so dancers can get and give what they need. We are gathering for some nourishing movement and shared experience, with fantastic leaders to guide us.
