Saturdays: Drop In, Spiral Out

Saturdays 1PM – 2:30PM

INTERMEDIATE/ADVANCED LEVEL W/ ROTATING TEACHERS

Drop In, Spiral Out is a contemporary modern class with an emphasis on advanced concepts for thinking and moving. DISCO RIOT classes are by donation ($10 suggested) because we believe that class should be affordable and accessible in order to enhance working artists’ ability to take class and continue training. We offer classes with rotating teachers to promote a culture of sharing, exploration, diversity, expanding perspectives, and community. Class is a place of personal growth, community building, curiosity, skill-building, and play. We learn from one another. We grow together. Join us!

Class Descriptions

Zaquia Mahler Salinas: We'll use technical exercises, improvisation, phrase-work, and partnered feedback to probe beyond the mechanics, think critically about the tools, make connections, and deepen sensory awareness as a means for honing artistry and dynamics. Explore space, dance fully, explore weight, and challenge your edges while staying curious, in community with others.

Jasmyn Hamblin: My class involves finding expansion and presence in all levels of space, starting at the cellular
level and working outwards into the room. We practice holding both internal and external
presence, orienting ourselves to the environment and other humans in the space with us. Class
usually starts with a guided improvisation to check in with our inner worlds, progressing through
a floorwork warmup and large standing phrases to connect to the outer world. We will fly, fall,
sweep, and swing, as we take up space and enliven our senses through movement!
