Rise and Shine
Wake up on Tuesdays and start your day with a fabulous moving breakfast buffet. There definitely won’t be any porridge, and unfortunately there won’t be any ricotta and berry pancakes, nor any avocado and lime with bacon on toast.
Rather, there will be a moving menu: a bountiful barre, wanderlust walking, space carving, stretching and more stretching.
You know the kind of thing – a warm-up with awe-inspiring music.

Rise and shine and up and go!

Movement is for everyone regardless of age, ability or experience, and dance is a great way for parents to interact and bond with their children. After a mind-body connecting warm up and social dance sequence that we all do together, we learn to move from the children, exploring different levels, shapes, speeds and sizes of movements to engaging music, songs and rhymes. There will be some simple sequences that we will try together such as circle dances, locomotor movements or different rhythmic patterns, but for the most part, I will guide you into opportunities for delightful dancing and developmental movement that will leave you feeling connected to your own bodies and to each other. The classes are mostly based on a creative movement education model where simple directives allow for the greatest exploration and play, giving you just the right balance of structure and freedom.

Angela Hill is a dancer, teacher and award winning choreographer who has focused much of her 15 year career on education and the sharing of dance as both a community practice and a healing art with people of all ages and abilities. She earned a BFA in Dance Education from Arizona State University in 2001. She was trained as a classical ballet dancer (RAD) before falling in love with contemporary and improvisation, and she has performed and choreographed professionally in the US and Australia. Her teaching experience ranges from pre-school all the way to university and professional level having taught dance in various studios, community centres and school programs across two continents. Angela has experience bringing dance to a wide range of people including babies/toddlers, at-risk youth, the elderly, people with intellectual and physical disabilities and refugees. She has trained in many dance forms and movement practices including developmental movement and Anne Green Gilbert’s methods of teaching creative dance to toddlers, pre-school and school age children. She is also a Somatic Movement Therapist, Certified Rolfer™ and Rolf Movement Practitioner. Angela is in awe every day of her toddler who she loves dancing with.
