🏃🏽 Feldenkrais with Emily May Morrison
Wednesdays, 12-1pm || 🔗 Register https://bit.ly/4scjovz

This class offers space to slow down and meet those habits with affectionate curiosity. Through this process, we begin to uncover more powerful, sensitive, and easeful ways of moving—often ones that have been there all along.

Each session is thoughtfully designed to reveal new possibilities in your movement. Rather than relying on traditional instruction, sessions invite exploration through guided experimentation and play—similar to how we first learned as children.

Skye's class focuses on the exploration of style, intricate musicality, and personal expression. Skye encourages dancers to find their own voice through authentic movement and connection instead of competition. In their class, you will learn choreography rooted in Hip Hop yet laced with Contemporary influences to create a unique movement style. Each week you will be challenged with new material to enhance versatility, technique, and the marrying of movement and music.

In this experiential workshop, we'll use simple movement experiments, attention, sensory exploration, and playful constraints to make our habitual responses visible and explore what happens when we change them in real time.

Grounded in behavioral science and embodied cognition, the workshop explores a simple idea: how we think, feel, and act emerges through the ongoing interaction of brain, body, and environment.
The goal is not only to become more aware of your patterns, but to experience that they are not fixed and practice having more than one way to respond.

El Movimiento Nos Une, October 4th, 2026 was a celebration that brought our community together through dance, culture, and shared traditions. 💃🏽

It was also an opportunity to express our gratitude to the community, artists, volunteers, and donors whose generosity and support made this event possible. Together, we celebrated our cultural roots, strengthened connections, and honored the power of movement to unite us all.

Thank you and our donors of the event.

🔗 Schedule link to register for class: https://odc.dance/schedule

Driven by Emily's movement philosophy of doing less to do more, this class will be a practice in executing movement defined by task, imagery, somatic intuition, and technical insight. Dancers will learn numerous, bite-sized sequences of movement (upright, floor-work, and everything in between) and practice them in repetition traveling across the floor.

We will focus on releasing unnecessary tension and finding efficient pathways that build in effort, dynamism, and complexity as we get warm. Modification, adaptation, and individuality will be actively addressed and encouraged.
