Let's Play classes are for anyone who identifies as trans+ and Global Majority/ BIPOC at any level of dance who want to get moving their body without a certain style in an inclusive supportive space. Classes are focused on community-building, care and exploring movement through props and dance/movement. Props are objects that you can dance/move with! To initiate movement with props we would use creative dance games that are open to interpretation to help explore movement in different ways. It is mostly improvisation and nothing is right or wrong!
If you are a global majority person you can take the class after which is for anyone who is non-cis to make it a 3 hour long workshop for more fun and exercise for FREE
