Our studio is gorgeous, full of natural light only, with tree-filled windows facing south. We provide a few yoga mats, chairs, musical instruments like shakers and rattles. Wear shoes or dance in bare feet on the beautiful hardwood floor. At FreeForm Dance Dance there is something for everyone when it comes to dancing, movement and the music. We begin softly with slower beats, build to a crescendo in the middle, and then slow down again to a quieter pace at the end. The dance is a journey, 80 minutes. We include pop music from every decade and era, Broadway and swing music, Bollywood, Zydeco, Cajun, North, South, West and East Africa, Brazil, Turkey, Russia, France, Spain, Bellydance, Bhangra, and also rock, funk, hip-hop, classical and awesome all-time dance music. We begin in a brief welcome circle and end with a circle, but if you come a little late or leave early, you are still entirely welcome to join right in (and no one is required to participate in the opening and closing circles, although in many dancing cultures around the world with dance as a journey or prayer, this is part of the process). At the end of our dance together, everyone shares a short few words of appreciation. People also bring poems, a very short one-verse song, or a quote to share. Grace usually shares one passage from the Tao Te Ching. Dance is $15-$25 sliding scale for those attending in-person. We rent the studio at a fairly hefty fee, buy music, buy supplies like tape and yoga mats, and equipment....and we appreciate your presence in this joyful co-creation!
