MotionArt Adult Modern Dance Classes

MotionArt’s mission is to share the art of dance and the joy of movement with people of all ages and abilities. We strive to enrich lives by fostering creativity, body awareness and self-expression in a fun, non-competitive, welcoming environment.

We offer ongoing dance classes in-studio, on Zoom and outside (weather permitting). Paying the regular rate helps keep our organization afloat; however, no one will be turned away for inability to pay. There is also an option to pay what you can.

Please go to motionartmn.org to sign up for classes, or contact Pam Gleason for info.

New Evening Jazz Class Offering – MoveTogethers with Rhythmically Speaking

Join Rhythmically Speaking for this new evening jazz class offering!

MoveTogethers are our weekly company class of sorts, titled as such to reflect their collaborative nature in which we improvise and create together in addition to moving through material from RS Artistic and Executive Director Erinn Liebhard and guest artists.

We are excited to be opening our MoveTogethers up to the public this summer so pre-professional and professional dancers in our community can join in the jazz! Our approach to jazz emphasizes the elements of groove, interaction and improvisation that we see as present within all American social dance styles, honors the African diasporic roots of the form, and is driven by jazz music.

This first session of open MoveTogethers will run Wednesdays from 5:30-7:00pm at the Cowles Center in downtown Minneapolis, starting June 8 and ending August 3. Each class is just $10.00, which can be paid in cash or via Venmo after taking class.

We hope to see you there!
