Hey guys! Here's an update on the past week!

 Wednesday, January 8 we had a beautiful ballet class led by Anne White! We are really getting our ballerina status on! Later in the day we had a workshop led by Jesse Zaritt. Jesse received his MFA in Dance at Hollins University/The American Dance Festival in 2008. He also teaches modern at University of the Arts.  He is a former member of Shen Wei Arts Dance Company and Inbal Pinto Dance Company. The workshop focused on BMC which is Body-Mind Centering. We did a lot of exercises and improvisation to get in tuned with our senses as well as our inner body such as our veins, arteries, fat, fascia and so much more. We also did some partnering exercises and looked at a few pictures of the human body/skeleton. Everyone looked beautiful in class and through the energy we know a lot of research was being done by the dancers. Jesse was very insightful, inspiring and his charismatic approach to dance was very soothing.  I hope everyone enjoyed it as much as I did!
"We need to have a certain facility and options... possibilities in our bodies...we are training to be artist not robots!" -Jesse

Here are a few photos from the day! Enjoy!
