The SBT studio class is geared to advanced and intermediate/advanced dancers (noting that movers of all levels are welcome to take at their own pace) interested in cultivating a deeper capacity to spontaneously access the multiplicity of options available at any given dancing movement, and to navigate rapidly changing relationships to space formed through image, clarity of intent, and adaptability. SBT emphasizes the intrinsic system of fluidity, spirals, undulation, and curve that allow a dancer/mover to navigate complex movement patterns—whether learned/rehearsed or improvised—with ease, safety, and joy.
