After a brief-ish hiatus following the birth of her second child, Chloe is back! And she’s teaching weekly. Here’s last Saturday’s fantastic group after a sweaty morning class 🤩

03/10/2026

Yesterday’s rehearsal was at Inniswood Gardens 😍 What a dream rehearsal with perfect weather, bird calls, and crunching leaves.

Chloe has begun a new rehearsal process with our 15 performance ensemble members! This work will be performed in the fall and we will post periodic updates and performance info as it comes. This work is very broadly about “care”, in all its forms.

Do you want to know more about what rehearsal looks like? Curious how 15 people in their 70s and 80s with varied dance and live experience coexist and make art? Come to rehearsal! Shoot us a message and we will work out a time for you to join.
