    This class is rooted in dance as a healing practice in celebration of community and reverence for the raw energy of house dance, music, and culture. The class begins with house grooves and foundational footwork, isolations, and Hatha Yoga Āsanas. Dancers are then offered inventive concepts to expand their capacity for storytelling, theatrical expression, and self-discovery, through movement improvisation. Klaymoon’s dynamic choreography draws from various dance lineages including house, modern/release technique, freestyle hip hop, and waacking. All levels welcome; shoes optional.

    House Dance is a style of dance that originated in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s from underground clubs in Chicago and New York. It is a melting pot of many styles, such as Tap Dance, African dance, Latin dance, Capoeira and Hip Hop, as well as other street dance forms.

    In this class, Rama explores groove, technique, footwork, body control, spins, feeling, connecting to the music, connecting with each other, and more. Rama teaches foundation and concepts, as well as phrases to put the ideas together, and space at the end to explore everything the student has learned.

    This class is outdoors, in front of the beautiful Lake Merritt.

  • Every Friday | 6-9:30pm
