This will be a contemporary based class strictly doing choreography and some technical training. The class will be an hour long and each week we will learn new choreography to various music types. Students will learn to use movement to invoke the emotion they’re grasping from the choreo/ music and have the opportunity to be creative with improvisation.
A dance background will be required to take this class and it will be offered to individuals 16+. The costs for this class will be $20. I will be offering a monthly rate which will be $15.00 per class but registering for 4-weeks is required and payment of the 4-weeks will be taken at the time of registration.
Registration is required to take this class so please contact Nat at communalgroundsvintage@gmail.com to register.
There is no dress code, however, please wear clothing you’re comfortable moving and stretching in. Bare feet and or socks will be preferred footwear.
Terrie is back after receiving her 500-hour teaching certificate! Classes are taught in a module of 4–6-weeks:
Wednesday, 10 - 11:15am
Friday, 9 - 10:15am
Cost is $10 per class, registration required (email Terrie to register). If available, please bring all of your own yoga props (such as a mat, block, strap)- chairs are provided.
Gentle Yoga classes are designed to maintain and build essential mobility, balance and foundational strength while honoring a variety of bodies. Gentle Yoga is slower paced and focuses on safe alignment, using props if needed to adapt the pose to your unique self. The practice is ideal for seniors, yogis returning to practice after an injury or illness, new yogis with fitness concerns or anyone interested in a softer touch in their yoga practice. The class is not aerobic and while you might breathe hard, you most likely will not work up a sweat. It is required for this class that you are able to get up and down from the floor. Please call, text or email me with questions or specific concerns. If you have an ongoing health issue, please consult your doctor before attending.

First and Third Friday from 6:00 PM to 7:15 PM
This is a safe and sacred space for you, us, to move together as one. While this is a no-contact dance class, you will have the opportunity to feel a deep connectedness to others.
Our class is open to all ages and all levels of dance experience, we welcome families and children to participate. Come alone or with a friend, wear comfortable clothes and bring an exploratory openness to the creative and healing activity of movement as medicine. A place where you are encouraged to get out of your own way and allow yourself to be surprised and fascinated with the gift of being embodied.
We will begin with a brief opening circle. Then, we will move into a free-form dance exploration guided by a dynamic and eclectic mix of music ranging from tribal beats, up-beat reggae, world fusion to electronic dance music.
No registration, drop in, suggested donation of $15 per person. However we understand that everyone's financial situation is different, we trust that you will pay what is aligned with your true current abundance.

Join Belle for Beginner Bachata every Saturday from 4:00 - 5:00pm!
This engaging class will help you develop a solid foundation for dancing bachata, an addictive style with origins in the Dominican Republic and further developing distinctive genres in New York and Spain. This is a beginner level course—absolutely no prior knowledge in bachata or any dance required! We'll learn the rhythm and body movement, begin to increase flexibility and Latin movement techniques, practice multiple variations of the basic steps, and understand what it means to lead and follow as we rotate partners throughout the class.
Classes are run as monthly units—at the beginning of every month, the very basics will be emphasized, and then material will progress and build upon material already covered. Every month will feature something new, and it is designed to be repeated. This solidifies your new skills and keeps adding new moves and techniques! Improvement takes time and repetition. You are more than welcome to drop in at any time of the month. Just please note that because of the layered structure, the first class of the month will be easier than the fourth class of the month if you have no experience.
You don't need to wear fancy shoes, but you will find that lightweight options that stay on your feet (versus workboots and flip flops) will prove most useful. Bring a water bottle and get ready to groove! Traditionally, the lead role is done by a man, and the follow role is done by a woman, but there are no gender roles in partner roles—pick whichever role you'd like!
No pre-registration is needed. $10 for 1 drop-in class or $35 for a 4 drop-in class pass. Please arrive 10 minutes early to register for your first class.

Monthly Contra Dances feature live music by a cadre of local musicians playing with Dave Ambrose as dance caller. The dance will start at 7PM with a beginner's lesson and run until 10PM.
