Entrance on Thomas, take elevator to 6th floor #614
Enjoy the interface of Gaga, embodied anatomy, and improvisational movement scores. Soma/Gaga will accommodate the needs, interests, and appetites of movement-hungry individuals who wish to open themselves to movement in new ways. Dancers, yogis, and movers of all kinds and levels (over 16 years old) are invited to participate.
Gaga is a new way of gaining knowledge and self-awareness through your body. It provides a framework for discovering and strengthening your body and adding flexibility, stamina, and agility while lightening the senses and imagination. Somatic movement deepens your body-knowledge through the processes of embodied anatomy and developmental movement. In Letting the Dance In you will explore your sense organs as a means of sourcing new movement and relationships with others.
