Description: A warm invitation to get up, connect with our bodies, and move together after a long day of zooming. Latinx Movement Practice rigorously explores the social and communal Latin Diaspora of movement, migration, and music from Mexico, the Caribbean, South America, and the United States. The course is taught with a blend of English, Spanish, and Spanglish. 

Together we will investigate and deepen our use of horizontal and vertical weight, isolations, polycentric movements, and hip whining techniques. We will weave a survey of the history, art, and literature from the Latinx experience through an embodied experience while fostering our virtual community. LROD (el rod) will facilitate Latinx Movement Practice with radical tenderness to embrace deeper states of power, awareness, and energetic alignment during movement rituals for heightened connectivity, and restorative power. ¡Vamos a Bailar! 

 Key Questions: 

• How do we foster a sense of community in movement during the era of zoom and isolation? 
• Can we deepen our movement intentions and embrace our artistic voices, while simultaneously creating space for joy and empowerment?
• What are the ways we share and celebrate each other's movement investigations each week.

INFO SESSION: MON AUG 24 AT 2-3PM ET. EMAIL TDM FOR MORE INFO.

Course Notes: No previous Latin movement experience is needed to enroll.
