This course, taught by Natanya Apfelbaum, is a six-week class, being offered on Thursday evenings from November 7-December 19 from 6:00-7:30pm. Please note there is no class on November 28 (Thanksgiving Day).

Would you like to feel more free to be yourself and authentically connected to others? Come experience how dance is a natural way to express your spirit and to deepen in community. 

In this series, you will transform stuckness into joy, feeling disconnected into belonging and feeling scattered into inner rhythm. Dance Your Inner Fire draws inspiration from the dances of the Romani people, nomadic peoples with a vast tradition of movement and from the concept of duende, the inner fire. These dances are earthy and liberatory ~ a celebration of life and spirit in trying times!

This movement practice is an invitation to strengthen your own embodiment and find a rich source of inner and outer connection. At times deeply meditative, at times high energy, we will invite duende into our dance and into our lives. Moving together will inspire you to lift your energy and mood, to develop a sense of community through movement and to find more musicality in your dance.  

The class will comprise three main parts: waking up the body through stretching and rhythm practice, dance games to playfully engage with others and group co-created movement. There is absolutely no experience required, and the class is a welcoming space for people at all levels of ability.

Tuition: $120 for Members; $150 for Non-Members
