an invitation to outdoor dance class practice in Prospect Park, Brooklyn- this will be a space for us to gather safely- to be together & work together. This will be a space to move and feel your feelings and get whatever it is you need from dance class. There will be improvisation scores, stretches & strengthening & alignment practices, and an offering of phrase material. We will work to undo and rewrite understandings of postmodern dance technique that serve our own unique and perfect bodies. There might be some writing, there might be some drawing, there might be some singing. We will move, imagine, sweat, listen, feel and make dances. We will hold space for each other. We will tenderly interact with and learn from the environment we move in, the stolen land we move on. Suitable for every level of mover, every kind of artist, every human wanting to show up in space safely with other folx. tuesdays in september 5:30-7pm september 1st, 8th, 15th*, 22nd, 29th- *Ogemdi Ude subs 9/15, rain date Wednesdays- weather updates will be made HERE!

50% of september outdoor class proceeds will go directly to the Freeskewl Reparations Fund: Freeskewl is currently engaged in a pilot reparations initiative. white teachers (and non-Black/non-Indigenous POC teachers at their own discretion) who receive direct payments for their classes are transferring 10-60% of their monthly Freeskewl earnings to a fund that is distributed among Black and Indigenous instructors via a tipping/shares system. If you would like to contribute directly to the Freeskewl reparations fund, you may send payment to freeskewl@gmail.com on PayPal. Please note that this is a different address from the one listed for general Freeskewl donations. Announcements of September BIPOC spaces supported through this initiative will be coming soon!
