Release Practice with Katherine Kiefer Stark Class #1

Release Practice with Katherine Kiefer Stark- Tuesdays 7-8:30PM, January + February 2026
from $0.00

DESCRIPTION: In this playful practice, we dance in relationship with each other and the room, through athletic phrases that move in and out of the floor and carry us in and out of balance. We will get in touch with our inner mechanics to discover how our own bodies move with/in the offered movement.


My practice draws on Kline Technique, Safety Release Technique, and release techniques. This blend allows us to move with and throughmomentum, spirals, and circlesto arrive at predetermined and surprising destinations. I hope you leave with a satisfying, sweaty, just having played a good game, endorphin high.

LEVEL: Intermediate

PAYMENT: Classes are pay-what-you-can, $15-$20 suggested!

Sydney Donovan- Up, Down, and Around Class #1

Sydney Donovan- Up, Down, and Around Wednesdays 10-11:30AM, January-February 2026
from $0.00

DESCRIPTION: Ballet/ floorwork/ sensation

This class weaves together the precision of ballet, the fluidity of contemporary floor work, and the intuitive world of sensation-based movement. We begin with a warm, gooey ballet phrase sequence that follows the familiar rhythm and structure of a traditional ballet class, gradually building into traveling work that expands the body through space. Moving downward, we shift into contemporary floor work, exploring weight, momentum, and the body’s relationship with gravity. As the heart rate rises, students are guided into a Reiki-infused movement meditation: an energetic reset that blends grounding intention with physical activation. Drawing inspiration from Gaga technique, we play with texture, somatics, groove, and the pleasure of sensation. Class concludes with phrase work exploration, allowing dancers to integrate technique, intuition, and personal artistry into a final embodied expression.

DESCRIPTION: This class is an unserious opportunity to feel comfortable and confident in your skin through dance :)

We’ll start the class with some warm up stretching and basic movement to start to feel comfortable in our bodies and in the space. Here we will focus on the question of why we dance, and the impact it can have on both our bodies and minds.

From there we will begin with guided Zumba-style dancing as a class as an energizer, and will then move into learning a jazz/hip hop style routine. Accessible for all levels of experience! The purpose is to encourage dancers to explore what they are capable of. The whole time we will be emphasizing the importance of having fun and dance being an outlet to express joy and freedom.

from $0.00

Thursday 1/22
7-8:30PM @ & Space
1021 Hamilton Street, Floor 3

DESCRIPTION: When I was a kid, one of my favorite dance teachers would beg me not to “diva out”. But I love divas so this class will be an opportunity to embody just that, releasing our inner FIERCE hunny! We’ll gather for a full body warm up including the front and back of our minds, pulling from my MOUTH ROT practice and before class ends we’ll learn a jazz-ish, contemporary-esque, Vogue inspired routine choreographed in collaboration with Ina Kwayana.

Expect to:
End up Queer(er)
Do some jazz progressions + optional partnering
Giggle yourself
Get sickening. But not sick! But to gag from the diva of it all- as we begin the new year together.

To learn more about Rot’s MOUTH ROT practice visit micahlat.com.

LEVEL: Intermediate

MASKING: Mask preferred. If anyone would like mask to be required for this class, feel free to reach out to PDS or Rot at micahlattt@gmail.com to let us know! We want you to feel safe to join and will prioritize your needs!

7-8:30PM @ & Space
1021 Hamilton Street, Floor 3

DESCRIPTION: Within an inclusive and positive space, dancers will be invited to explore a full warm-up and coordination exercises ending in a full-bodied movement phrase. Class begins on the floor, focusing on finding a connection between the spine and pelvis. Progressing to standing, layers of release, tension, and musicality will be introduced, creating new neural pathways for the body to twist, stretch, and contract. These principles will be carried into a sweeping movement progression, exploring dynamic movement, velocity, and artistic expression. Class will center around moving with ease to create dynamic expression. We will sweat and breathe into dance, finding ease in our anatomy to unlock freedom within dance.

We begin with a warm, gooey ballet phrase sequence that follows the familiar rhythm and structure of a traditional ballet class, gradually building into traveling work that expands the body through space. Moving downward, we shift into contemporary floor work, exploring weight, momentum, and the body’s relationship with gravity. As the heart rate rises, students are guided into a Reiki-infused movement meditation: an energetic reset that blends grounding intention with physical activation. Drawing inspiration from Gaga technique, we play with texture, somatics, groove, and the pleasure of sensation. Class concludes with phrase work exploration, allowing dancers to integrate technique, intuition, and personal artistry into a final embodied expression.

LEVEL: Intermediate

Chloe Marie- The Rhythm Inside
from $0.00

Thursday 12/18
7-8:30PM @ CHI Movement Arts Center
1316 S. 9th Street

DESCRIPTION: This class is inspired by my love for house dance and the ways my tap upbringing has shaped how I hear, feel, and interpret house vocabulary. Tap has made me a house dancer who is deeply attuned to rhythm—both the obvious beats and the subtle, often unnoticed ones.

In this class, I aim to guide individuals through expanding their listening skills: hearing layered rhythms, zooming in on specific textures, and creating percussive sounds with their bodies that become as essential to the dance as the music itself. Together, we will explore how rhythm lives within us, how sound can be embodied, and how movement can generate its own music. We will also experiment with live sound-making using my drum machine to deepen our play with rhythm and musicality.

Join me in discovering the rhythms we hear, the rhythms we create, and the rhythms we become.

Xander: What’s dancing anyways? Class #6

Xander: What's dancing anyways?- Wednesdays 10-11:30AM, November-December 2025
from $0.00

DESCRIPTION: Here’s the class format:

Time to arrive. Five-ish minutes SHAKE. One s l o w (even slower) walk across the room. Non-stopping practice. Open score. (subject to change! it’s improvisation)

Each week, I will introduce questions, concepts, and/or conflicts to guide our attention and train our choreographic minds. I’m pulling together improvisational, task-ish, practices I’ve learned and gathered in the past years. Ones that have re-shaped me enough that I kept doing them on my own after the class/workshop/intensive was over. Namely, I draw from Jared Williams and Anya Smolnikova’s shake format, Ryuta Iwashita and Jeanine Durning's stream of conscious type practices, Heidi Henderson’s slow walking, and Julianna May’s Choreographic Idioms class.

This is a laboratory where we embrace not-knowing-what’s-going-to-happen. We aim toward trusting the velocity of our minds and allowing the impulses of our bodies. Let’s be wrong and bad and dance.?

LEVEL: Intermediate- some skill in improvisation and durational practice will be incredibly supportive to this class, whether in dance, theatre, music or a different creative discipline.

PAYMENT: Classes are pay-what-you-can, $15-$20 suggested!

This is a laboratory where we embrace not-knowing-what’s-going-to-happen. We aim toward trusting the velocity of our minds and allowing the impulses of our bodies. Let’s be wrong and bad and dance.?

LEVEL: Intermediate- some skill in improvisation and durational practice will be incredibly supportive to this class, whether in dance, theatre, music or a different creative discipline.

PAYMENT: Classes are pay-what-you-can, $15-$20 suggested!

We’ll warm up together through guided improvisation to build heat and spark creative choices. To prepare for full body movement, we’ll utilize conditioning exercises and light partnering. We’ll learn patterns across the floor and throughout the space, fusing rhythmic footwork with sinewy transitions. Class will end with a phrase that ties it all together.

Micah Lat/Rot- Getting Stuck/Mouth Rot
from $0.00

Saturday 11/1/25 & Saturday 11/15/2025
1-2:30PM @ CHI Movement Arts Center
1316 S. 9th Street

DESCRIPTION: Getting Stuck/Mouth Rot is a dance practice by Micah Lat or Rot about being, becoming, listening, and responding. It is a moment to re-act to being "touched" by sound, light, and our neighbor. The class will invite participants to get stuck in repetitious movement. To see, to be seen, and to act! To respond. This is an opportunity to be honest and absurd in a group setting. This is an invitation to invite your body to ask itself what it's up as it gets up to move. We'll ask each other "what just happened?" at the end again and again and again.

LEVEL: Beginner-Intermediate

Harlee Trautman- Spiral Body Techniques® (SBT)
from $0.00

Thursday 10/30/2025
7-8:30PM @ CHI Movement Arts Center
1316 S. 9th Street

DESCRIPTION: Spiral Body Techniques® (SBT) class with Harlee invites dancers into an exploration of flow, grounding, and expressive range. Through spontaneously composed phrases that respond to the dancers in the room, we will begin on the ground and build toward locomotive dancing. Together we will access the mobility of the trunk and torso, explore the complex intelligence of the ball-and-socket joints, and cultivate embodied and spatial awareness that supports both the pursuit of excellence and the prevention of injury or unnecessary strain.

Spiral Body Techniques® (SBT) is the framework for dance and teaching movement developed by choreographer Molly Shanahan. Harlee has been an advanced student of Spiral Body Techniques® since 2016, and is part of the inaugural cohort of certified instructors (2023).

LEVEL: Open. This class welcomes adults of all levels—from experienced dancers seeking to expand their range to newcomers drawn to a practice grounded in both excellence and ease.
