ZUZI! Dance Community Workshops offer the opportunity for groups to experience the joy of movement in a nurturing and supportive environment that helps to unlock the creative mover/dancer in all of us.

Based on the conviction that dance is a birthright, community workshops start with three simple propositions: 

∙ We all have knowledge about how to move. 

∙ We all have stories to tell.

∙ We all can learn from witnessing each other’s movements and listening to each other’s stories. 

Dance brings together physical and mental energies in unique ways. It sparks fresh creativity for individuals and inspires new interactions within groups.  The use of playful improvisation &choreographic structures can culminate in a performance piece to share with the community and can also be a place to explore and have fun. 

Typical class activities include: warming up; learning basic movements; experimenting with improvisational structures; developing movement ideas; dancing alone and with others; writing and poetry; and exploring the relationship between movement,words, music, and personal experience.
