Class Description: The class will begin with an energizing warm-up, bringing us into the present moment and finding a collective breath.  Together, we will move and groove across the floor through progressions that combine elements of jazz and contemporary dance, focusing on finding both specificity and cathartic release. Ending with a full-out, fun movement phrase, we will leave feeling sweaty and rejuvenated!
