About the Class

Free to Attend!

Come move with Nanako! Her contemporary class focuses on cultivating awareness of your body and the space (kinesphere and beyond!). We'll use release work, improvisation, and somatic exercises (informed by her Laban/Bartenieff training) to build physical intelligence and unlock your unique creative potential. All levels welcome to explore intention and freedom!
