Magpie Movement A place for adults to learn and play - school of dance & artist incubation centre in St. John's NL

Magpie Movement’s mission is to uplift our community of movers and shakers by sharing the joy of creative movement. We empower and inspire students through quality dance education with caring, professional instructors in a supportive and positive atmosphere. We aim to broaden the reach and impact of eclectic dance through active community engagement. We believe that every dancer is unique, with different abilities, learning styles, and motivations for dancing. The ultimate goal of classes with Magpie Movement is to spark a passion for dance and creative movement in whichever style you would like to embrace. We want to help dancers not only understand technique and fundamental vocabulary and repertory, but also to cultivate a deeper understanding of body movement and creating their authentic selves. Current classes include contemporary- and fusion-style belly dance with Vanessa Matthews.

POP-UP WORKSHOP ANNOUNCEMENT
"NOTES FROM UNDERGROUND" with AUDRA SIMMONS

Join Audra as she shares technical and creative aspects of her current personal practice. Taking from fusion (belly) dance and waving vocabulary, we’ll work some shapes and pathways in their original forms. From there, we’ll add a little Dark Side as we ask ‘Why not?’ and ‘How can we add to this?’. We’ll both drill the original and new forms as well as place them into short combinations to see how they can be used in dances.

You’ll learn new options for using techniques you are no doubt familiar with, while hopefully coming away with ideas about how you can tackle other movements and dance techniques with fresh eyes and approaches.

This workshop is suitable for those with some belly dance experience, and is NOT suited to absolute beginners.

⏰ Sun 19 Nov @ 12:30pm - 2:00pm.
📍The Dance Centre, 117 Ropewalk Lane, St. John's NL.
💵 $50, inclusion fund HEY25 available.
