For those of us who take flight in flow-inspired dance, in particular by the open-ended circularity
of our movement, finding greater definition and range in our expressive choices can be a
challenge. Dancing with Form and Flow deepens Madelyn’s mission to awaken the expressive
and emotive potential of older adults through the transformative magic of music and movement. This 3-class series is designed to guide lovers of flow into a greater array of gestural forms that
can quench our deeper yearning. The class will provide a guided warm-up, comprising a range of expressive options, followed by a series of improvisation structures to integrate the practice of form. Ultimately, we will craft our own movement phrases - soul-inspired nuggets of our own making. Madelyn will continue to fuel your expressive journey with a carefully-designed playlist - this time around holding space for dancing with sounds of silence! Everyone will all participate in creating a supportive, judgement-free space that honors who we are and the unique offerings we’ll be sharing with each other. No experience is necessary and all ranges of prior dance experience are welcome - the only criteria is the clear call you receive to participate!
