Work'd Sunday Class Series TOMORROW for $5!

Dance Workshop offers Sunday Master Classes with invited Guest Artists from around the greater Detroit area...for $5 only!!  They are 1-2:30pm in Studio B, room 3317, 4841 Old Main, Detroit.

This week's class will feature Kristi Faulkner Dance-- same time, same place! Hope to see you there!

Kristi Faulkner is the founder and artistic director of Kristi Faulkner Dance - a multidisciplinary movement company based in the Detroit 

area. In this class, we will connect with our sense of weight through earthbound phrases and guided improvisation. High-energy phrasework juxtaposing explosive movement with subtle gesture will challenge the participants' athleticism and artistic expression. Movers will be required to access their individual performance skills to bring a unique expression and rhythmic sensibility to the movement. This class is designed for intermediate to advanced movers.
