Adult Classes at TWDCC
Adult Classes are drop-in only and may be cancelled or changed on short notice. Plan to arrive early to assure your spot, to fill out the TWDCC Waiver, and so your teacher can start their class on time.
All adult teachers, staff, dancers, drummers, and participants are required to sign a waiver the first time they take a class.
Adult classes ask varying amounts for class. Please arrive with cash or be ready to pay via a digital app like Venmo, Paypal, Cashapp, or something similar.
MONDAY
5Rhythms is a dynamic dance movement practice created and cultivated over 40 years by Gabrielle Roth (1941-2012) and now practiced all over the world. There are no steps to learn, or particular choreography. We tune into the body’s sensations and move from there with awareness. The practice is a dynamic way to both dance and meditate. This practice is not aiming for any aesthetic result and requires no special physical fitness or previous experience. Only an intention to step into the moment and to give shape and movement to life flowing through us!

Beginning Contemporary for Adults
with Molly Katzman
7PM - 8:15PM
$15 for one class, or $60 for 5 classes
Class cancelled 9/11 and 10/9
This class is for the adult who has never danced, who hasn't danced in years, who dances every day and can't stop, won't stop. This class is all about connecting to our bodies, our sensation, our joy of moving; you could never get it wrong since there is an endlessness of possibilities. We will also play with gravity and the weight of our bodies and practice releasing into momentum so we can fly, swing, swoop, surrender, yield, and fall. Let's remember we have bodies who have an incredible capacity to feel and what it's like to move together in person again.
