**Glimmer**

Glimmer  ~  Somatic Improv + Emergent Choreography

This dance/movement practice blends somatic exploration with guided and collective choreography, drawn from a wide range of classic, contemporary and contemplative modalities.

Glimmer gatherings invite us to explore possibilities and potential of living in our bodies, guided by curiosity, awareness and personal expression. Movement inquiry offers both freedom + just enough structure. An eclectic mix of music genres engage the senses, emotions and imagination. Sensory-based prompts invite us to tune into our bodies to access the creative intelligence that flows within us; collective choreography emerges from impulse and improvisation.

Glimmer is Nia-inspired but delivered differently. Whereas a Nia class draws from a variety of structured dance/movement modalities including jazz, modern and Duncan dance, martial arts and yoga — Glimmer also draws from modalities of the expanding field of conscious and somatic dance/movement, such as Gaga, Authentic Movement, and 5 Rhythms.

We build each dance in a creative process together, by listening to the music, listening to our bodies, moving in community and following the glimmers!

Q: Do I need to have any previous dance experience to gather for a Glimmer? 

A: Absolutely not! This practice is accessible for total newbies, a great re-entry for those returning to dance, and for experienced dancers looking for fresh inspiration. 

Q. What can I expect? Am I going to get a workout? 

A. Physical exertion can be as vigorous or gentle as you desire on any given day and can even be practiced from seated. Expect to kick off your shoes, drop into the music and embrace presence and playfulness in commUnity.
