In the organizer's words:

with Shani Licht

Gaga / People

Gaga/people classes offer a framework for users to connect to their bodies and imaginations, experience physical sensations, improve their flexibility and stamina, exercise their agility and explosive power, and enjoy the pleasure of movement in a welcoming, accepting atmosphere.

Throughout the class, participants are guided by a series of evocative instructions deployed to increase awareness of and further amplify sensation. Rather than turning from one prompt to another, information is layered, building into a multisensory, physically challenging experience. While many instructions are imbued with rich imagery, the research of Gaga is fundamentally physical, insisting on a specific process of embodiment. Inside this shared research, the improvisational nature of the exploration enables each participant's deeply personal connection with Gaga.

Information about the class:

Gaga/people classes are open to people ages 16 and older, regardless of their background in dance or movement. They last approximately one hour. Participants should wear comfortable clothes and be prepared to dance barefoot or in socks. It is advisable to bring a bottle of water and a towel for use after class.

PLEASE ARRIVE a minimum of 15 MINUTES BEFORE CLASS STARTS!We close the doors at the designated class start time, no late entry!
