Saturday, July 10: the OPTIMIST Dance OUTside PARADE!!! Take to the street in your fanciest outfit, bring your coolest wheels or four legged friends (well-behaved) and dance with the neighbourhood. The Guadelupe Elders will have some ceremony and teaching.
Optimist DanceOUTside summer program:
Beginner Contemporary Dance – Mondays, 3:30-5:00 pm. Age 16+
Contemporary movement explorations – starting with body awareness, release, and expression. Working on awareness of center, suppleness, rhythm, balance, extension, and strength.
Movement Performance Program – Wednesdays, 3:30-5:00 pm. Multi-age.
All ages and abilities practising dance improvisation skills, culminating in a performance before the September long weekend. Participants, teachers and mentors will come together with our own different movement styles, learning to listen to our bodies, to each other and to the environment. Two guest teachers from different dance disciplines will be invited. We will work with a live musician in two rehearsals and the performance. The participants’ work will be recorded on video and viewed Tuesdays during the last weeks of August.
The final performance – its name to be decided by the participants, will be held on the evening of September 2, or 3rd.
Participants of the program and performance will receive a performance fee.
