Animal Dances
dance technique • sensory play • animal skills • fun science
This STREAM class brings physical education, imagination and technical skill together in a class designed for kids who love to MOVE and LEARN.
In Animal Dances we handle bones and skins, manipulate oversized models and move in wearables like weighted tails to compare human and animal anatomy.
Taught by dancer and intermedia artist Corrie Befort, we explore alignment and rhythm through tactile biomechanics, devise flock and pack choreography, build objects that merge biology and imagination. We make Animal Dances that are fierce and gentle, wild and precise, strange and beautiful.
Class size is limited to 12 students.
