Creative Movement for Adults with Utam Moses

Our Creative Movement classes and workshops are designed for adults, 50 and over and all abilities, and all adults are welcome. They are meant to be an entry to meaningful movement for healthy living. We want all to feel welcome to move joyfully! These classes will incorporate gentle stretching, Qigong, playful and imaginative movement, and dance exercises to tap into inspiration in the body. Guided explorations will center around finding more creativity, attention, balance, and range in the body. You’ll practice as a group, with partners, and solo. No prior dance experience is necessary—only a desire to explore what’s possible with movement for you! All abilities welcome.

Upcoming classes in 2024:

Sunday April 28th, 5-6pm
Sunday May 5th, 5-6pm

Donation-based, suggested donation $15-$20
