These excercises develop the flexibility of the body going through its deepest psychological and energetic level. Through this practice we explore the body not in its static field but in its moving and fluid function. We explore the inner structure that support the external body form that is the basis of life and in a natural way we find the dancing body that moves and is moved.

We then bring awareness to the time and space we are moving through by some proposals for simple improv structures. Through constantly switching focus from inside the body to out, and back again, we aim to explore dancing as something involving both reception and action. Each class will use the energy of the group present on that particular day, at that particular time, to create a unique experience. Most of all, it's just about life, sweat, and the joy of moving. David was born in Heidelberg, Germany, to a family from New York, NY. Played the piano professionally for 12 years, including a brief stint at the bar Marie's Crisis in New York.
