Feldenkrais Class Series on Zoom: Thawing The Shoulders

Feldenkrais Class Series on Zoom with Jeffrey Wells and Krista Langberg
Thawing the Shoulders: A Six-Week Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement Series

Tuesdays, 10:00-11:15am, March 21 to April 25 – Register
or
Thursdays 7:00-8:15pm, March 23 to April 27 – Register

Our shoulders are beautiful structures. At their best they float, slide, and glide over our ribs, enabling our arms and hands to reach further into our world around us. The amazing anatomy that allows for so much freedom (the whole shoulder/arm structure connects to the rest of our skeleton at only two small joints) can also be overtaken by a muscular holding that limits not only the functionality of our arms, but our necks, heads and upper backs as well.

Join us for a six-week Awareness Through Movement series where we deepen our attention to the mobility of our whole selves by way of our shoulder girdle. As winter slowly thaws and yields toward the promise of spring, let’s allow our shoulders to thaw too.

Class Fee: $60-150 for full series, sliding scale.

TU Dance Center: Dancing Together Workshop

This eight-week workshop is designed for children ages 2-4 and their parent/caregiver who is interested in a shared movement experience that engages the senses of curiosity and play.

Both child and caregiver will participate in developmentally appropriate movement exercises that incorporate elements such as effort, shape, and tempo. Music will play an essential role in the class as students will be asked to respond to sounds as well as make sounds themselves. Participants will be encouraged to join at their own comfort level with the understanding that observation is often the best form of learning with younger children. This class will give children and caregivers the opportunity to learn more about themselves and one another through the art form of dance.

March 11-May 13 (no classes April 3-15)
Saturdays, 9:00-9:45am
