Class Description: Join Meghan McLyman in a fun exploration of contemporary movement that emphasizes building a supportive class community. The class will begin with a floor warm-up based on Bartenieff fundamentals that progresses through a series of center and traveling exercises that all relate to a selected movement principle. The exercises build into a dynamic final phrase that moves in and out of the floor and eats up space.
