Circle O, Texarkana, TX (2026)

We believe every person has movement knowledge because every person has experience moving through the world.

What that means in Circle O
You don’t have to arrive with “formal” dance training.
You arrive with your own experiences of moving, adapting, communicating, and navigating the world.
That is movement knowledge.
That is where we begin

Stay tuned for next Circle O Dance Class in October!

Yesterday in Circle O Dance Class, we spent some time investigating synchronization as a relational practice rather than a visual one.

We worked in pairs, paying attention to what it takes to move in relationship with another person.

We didn’t make it as far into the exploration as we had planned, and that’s part of the practice too.

Still thinking about this.

Thanks to everyone who joined us in this exploration!

Join us for our next Circle O Dance Class on Sept 10!

Our Artistic Director, Kayla Hamilton will be facilitating her class called: “Improvisation as Disability Culture” in Seattle!

About:
This class explores disabled embodiment and creativity as fertile ground for improvisation. Accessibility is not treated as an exception or adjustment, but as a set of givens that ground the creative process. While disabled and non-disabled people are welcome in this class, we seek to upend ableism and non-disabled normativity in dance by placing disabled embodiment at the center of our explorations.

Learn more at Velocity Dance Center

Many of our Research Week intensives are SOLD OUT at this point, but there are still so many Dance artists that are ready to share their knowledge with you! Moriah Evans, Reshaun Mitchell + Silas Reiner, Kayla Hamilton, and Degenerate Art Ensemble are all still open for signups! Check out summer.velocitydancecenter.org and choose the intensive that is best for you!
