ADVANCED CONTEMPORARY JAZZ 🌴
6:30-8PM

About the Instructor:
Nat is a Seaside-based dancer who began their dance journey in ballet, contemporary, and jazz. After 17 years performing with SpectorDance, they made their way to Motion Pacific in 2021 and began to explore tap and modern. Nat minored in dance at Wheaton College Massachusetts, joining the Wheaton College Dance Company and Tap Out Loud. They became a company captain for their final two years, choreographing for and coordinating company showcases. Now back at Motion, they are so excited to continue their dance journey with such an amazing group of dancers.

BEGINNING CONTEMPORARY SERIES 🌴
*Last class is June 24th!
6:30-8PM

About the Class:
In this gently paced class series we will explore many facets of contemporary movement in a positive and supportive space. Classes will include a somatic floor warmup, guided improvisation, center phrases emphasizing alignment and articulation, weight shifting and traveling dances, and a longer piece of choreography aka “the big dance.” Please wear comfortable clothing and socks or bare feet. Drop-ins welcome. I look forward to moving with you!

BEGINNER CHOREO FOR ADULTS 🌴
*June 24th - July 15th
6:30-7:45PM

About the Class:
Have you always wanted to choreograph a dance but don’t know where to start? Join Kali for this series breaking down the process and unlock the choreographer that lives inside every dancer. Through creative prompts and games (yes, adults can play games too!), dancers will build up their own choreography into short phrases. This class will feature group warm ups, improv exercises, and reflection time, with an opportunity to perform our work at the July Adult Showcase! Attending all four weeks is not required, but strongly encouraged in order to build on previous choreography.

Wear free moving clothing and bring a notebook if you have one!

She remains grateful for the opportunity to work with such talented students and dedicated staff.
