Erin Thompson Teaches Advanced Contemporary Classes in Person and on Zoom

Erin’s advanced level contemporary hybrid class through Zenon Dance School includes floor work, standing warm-ups, and phrase work, all designed to enhance the healthy use of joints and muscle groups as dancers release their weight fully into the support of the ground. Experiential awareness, body mapping, improvisation, and creative work are included as dancers channel their own expressive artistry within the movement. The delightful Dean Magraw will accompany on guitar.

Thursday mornings, 9:30-11:00am

Registration is open through Zenon’s MindBody portal and closes ten minutes before class.
See you in person or virtually soon!

Introduction to Dance/Movement Therapy – DNCE 3334/5334

Dance/Movement Therapy (DMT) is a body/mind/spirit psychotherapeutic approach that integrates movement and embodied awareness with verbal expressions to facilitate psychological goals. This class will introduce the field of DMT. DMT is rooted in ancient wisdom and was recognized as a clinical profession in the 1960s in the United States.

Contact the University of Minnesota – Twin Cities for cost and registration information.

Moshe Feldenkrais said, “We move according to our perceived self-image.” By expanding your perception and increasing awareness, you will become more aware of your habits and tensions and develop new ways of moving. By increasing sensitivity, the Feldenkrais Method assists you to live your life more fully, efficiently, and comfortably.
