Chair for Bigger Bodies (Recorded 11/17)
I want to help all people (including larger-bodied individuals, such as myself) understand how the chair can be used as an apparatus and not just something to sit on.
Class Overview
This movement-based chair dance class will focus on a few moves for you to use the chair as an apparatus and not merely a prop, including moves with modifications or conditioning for larger bodied individuals. All are welcome. No prior dance or chair experience needed. We will end with a short routine using the chair moves learned.
Wear clothing to move and dance in (make sure knees are covered). Be ready to dance barefoot.
