Together Moving IS CURRENTLY ON HIATUS - if you fill out the form below you'll be alerted when we return to practicing.

Together Moving is a weekly class to rediscover our dancing selves as we rediscover moving together. With a responsive mixture of hands-on anatomical exploration, movement sequences designed for maximal experimentation, communal discourse, and thick, complex phrase-work, we skill-build, strength-train and move, move, move. It is sweaty and somatic and radically anti-hierarchical with a specific emphasis on floorwork and inversions. We watch each other move, play with our ideas about moving, and discover the overlap between what we're striving for and we have to offer one another.  We practice not hating ourselves for being a flawed and mortal humans and celebrating one another's abilities with full-throttled support because there is enough good dancing to go around.
This class might be a good fit if you...
  • Are an experienced mover with multiple years of committed movement practice and a strong relationship with your body. 
  • Are seeking spaces where you can feel seen and can get to know other dancing folx.
  • Crave a classroom dynamic that meets you where you are [injured, aging, fragile, frustrated] and helps you discover dancing that feels satisfying for your in-this-moment self.
  • Understand your strengths and growth areas and believe you have something to offer others.
  • Want to re/learn how your body works in ways that can immediately apply to your movement goals.
  • Are tired of shame-based, anonymous, hierarchy-perpetuating, white supremacist dancing spaces and want to be a part of building something different.

Sliding scale

This sliding scale offers an opportunity to divest from the perpetuation of privilege-based wealth disparities by asking you to acknowledge the relationship between the resources you have access to and the opportunities and oppressions you’ve experienced. The scale is designed to enable us all to take meaningful steps towards economic justice on a personal and local level. I will never quiz you about payment or ask you to prove anything, I trust you to have the fullest understanding of your needs. 
Consider paying less if you:
  • Are a person who experiences racism directed at you, or via systemic oppression
  • Are a Black, Indigenous or First Nations, brown, or otherwise non-white person
  • Are transgender and experience trans related discrimination and/or violence regularly
  • Are gay/queer and experience related discrimination and/or violence regularly  
  • Are an unpaid community organizer
  • Are a returning citizen who has been denied work due to incarceration history
  • Are supporting children or have other dependents
  • Are an elder with limited financial support
  • Have medical expenses not covered by insurance
  • Have medical expenses, been denied work, or experience discrimination related to ableism
  • Are eligible for public assistance
  • Have immigration-related expenses
  • Are a sex worker who experiences occupational discrimination (personal or legislative)
Consider paying more on the scale if you:
  • Own the home you live in
  • Have investments, retirement accounts, or inherited money
  • Have access to family money and resources in times of need
  • Work part time by choice
  • Have a relatively high degree of earning power due to level of education, gender privilege, racial privilege, class background, etc. Even if you are not currently exercising your earning power, I ask you to recognize this as a choice.
Privilege-based sliding scale model adapted from Valley Tattoo, Dura Mater Wellness, Little Red Bird Botanicals, and Pronia Coaching.
