Group description:
Come join a community dance group, focused on collaboration, creativity, and fun! No prior dance experience is needed.
We will explore inclusive dance concepts, improvisation scores, and ways of creating dance on Zoom. Participants have the option of being performers: in June the dance will be video recorded on Zoom and edited to create a short dance film.
This dance group is for adults of all abilities, disabilities, backgrounds, genders, and levels of experience with dance. Ages 18+. The group is facilitated by Joanne Cuffe, who has facilitated dance groups full-time since 2013 with people with myriad ways of moving, perceiving and communicating.
