Sydney Donovan- Up, Down, and Around Wednesdays 10-11:30AM, January-February 2026
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.
LEVEL: Intermediate
PAYMENT: Classes are pay-what-you-can, $15-$20 suggested!
