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 information.

Sunday, December 17, 1:00-2:30pm in the Sunroom
Saturdays, December 23 and 30, 12:30-2:00pm in the Chapel Studio

Come join in the fun!

Lisa’s welcoming ballet classes naturally guide students in refining their alignment, balance, and technique, while also discovering the value and importance of the use of weight in their dancing. Coupled with individual attention, feedback (and humor?!) students experience expansion and growth  in body and mind…and, experience joy in the process! Students are encouraged to expect success and mistakes! Only when we allow ourselves to take chances and risk failure can we grow into our full potential. Everyone is invited and welcome. Come ‘play’ and see for yourself!

Cost: $15-$20
To register, contact Lisa Erickson: lisamerickson606@gmail.com, 763-486-9731

Experiential awareness, body mapping, improvisation, and creative work are included as dancers channel their own expressive artistry within the movement.

Registration is open through Zenon’s MindBody portal.
