Coming up next…‼️‼️

COME TAKE Umfundalai with the lovely and incredibly talented THIS FRIDAY 5/23 🪻💜🫶🏼💐

Umfundalai (MA-FOON-DAH-LAH), meaning “essential” in Kiswahili, is a contemporary Pan-African dance technique that draws from traditional African dance, modern, and diasporic movement practices. This introductory class centers on foundational vocabulary, grounded movement, and rhythmic connection to the earth, while honoring the body as a site of power, agency, and cultural memory. This class is an affirming space where all bodies and identities are welcomed and celebrated. Expect an embodied experience that honors tradition while inviting personal truth, joy, and liberation into the movement. Whether you’re new to dance or returning to the floor, this class invites you to move with curiosity, courage, and community. ♥️

INTRODUCING… 💥💥💥

Our FIRST set of collaborators for Skinny Dipping With LOUD BODIES 👙🩱🤿🌊💙

lLittle Fire Artist Collective (LFAC), a Chicago-based dance project, is a much-needed incubator that aims to support and serve freelance artists as they continue cultivating and exploring their “little fires.” Spearheaded by a group of dancers, LFAC was born out of the chaos and uncertainty of the pandemic. Each member has a voice in decision-making for the collective and contributes administration assistance in addition to performing and creating. LFAC currently operates with 8 active members and, depending on the project, works with choreographic collaborators.

LFAC will be present to share an stress-free, guided movement practice for our audience, as well as to raffle off some goodies! ✨✨⭐️🔥🔥

OH we’re SO BACK! ✨✨✨

Come dance with us NEXT Friday, April 11th for SPIRAL BODY TECHNIQUES with Dani 🌀🌀💙💙

Spiral Body Techniques®, a movement framework developed by Molly Shanahan/MadShak, is geared to advanced and intermediate/advanced dancers interested in cultivating a deeper capacity to spontaneously access the multiplicity of options available at any given dancing movement, and to navigate rapidly changing relationships to space formed through image, clarity of intent, and adaptability. SBT facilitates the conscious release and opening of the body, and emphasizes the intrinsic system of fluidity, spirals, undulation, and curve that allow a dancer/mover to navigate complex movement patterns—whether learned/rehearsed or improvised—with ease, safety, and joy. During class, we start with floorwork and progressively work towards moving and traveling while standing.
