Soft Landings.jpg

Join me for this six-week series exploring softness in our dancing through the lens of the Axis Syllabus. The Axis Syllabus (or AS) is an educational framework and body of research on human movement, originally conceived of in the mid 90s by Frey Faust, a dancer, teacher, author and choreographer. The AS is continuously revised, tested, and contributed to by a growing network of international dancing researchers. I am a long-time student of this system and am pursuing certification as a teacher.

​

Our movement series will engage with principles of functional movement and longevity-focused body practices through dance. We will explore topics including:

  • landing pads

  • joint centration

  • hip and shoulder axis arcs

  • the primary pattern of walking

  • fascial lines and care

  • ..... and more

​

Designed for movers from diverse backgrounds, we will apply principles drawn from the AS to dancing patterns, generally starting low to the floor and then progressing to standing, traveling, dance-y phrases. The classes are appropriate for body-aware beginners, advanced level dancers who are curious about the AS principles, and all those in between.
