All Levels Hip Hop with Averie Mitchell-Brown
Wednesdays, 7:00-8:00pm
In person only.

Averie has always found ways to entertain herself through art. After first dancing on stage at the age of 11, she strived to make any aspect of dance her life, taking classes in ballroom, West African, break dancing, jazz and contemporary. Averie Mitchell-Brown is a University of Minnesota – Twin Cities graduate aspiring to touch as many lives as possible with her love, light, and talent. She has worked with well-known artists like Al TAW’AM – The Twins and as a crew member for Best Ensemble Sage Award-winning group S.H.E – She Who Holds Everything, Kenna Cottman in Voice of Culture Drum and Dance Company, Aneka McMullen in Epitome No Question, Bboy J-Sun, Leah Nelson, and many more.

Working with other artists and dancers of different styles helped her improve as a dancer holistically and helped her become more knowledgeable about the origins of the dancing community here in the Twin Cities. She is lives her life as a multidisciplinary artist with a focus in dance. When not dancing, she is touching the lives of many as an educator and traveling with her family.

The GYROKINESIS® Method is named such because we move in circular, semi-circular, figure-8, and spiral pathways. Through coordinated, rhythmic breathwork, which simultaneously strengthens the deep core, students build skill in coordination and proprio/interoception. My personal experience with Gyrokinesis has lead to greater connection throughout the body, including more integrated use of turn out and a strong sense of midline.
