Whatever your relationship with dance, dance is an expression of you.

LOCATION CHANGE STARTING MONDAY 11/16: Monday 11/9 is the final day that Dance Meditation class is held at the Nicoll St location. The last two Dance Meditation classes of the year, Monday 11/16 and Monday 11/23, are held at Centered's new location, 89 Sherland Ave, New Haven, CT 06513.

The exercises here support your intuitive connection to your body and your mindful awareness of others as you dance together.

None of the exercises requires previous dance experience, though previous dance experience is supported. You meet yourself where you are. Through deep listening... 

…your body shares with you what movement it wants to do 

…you invite yourself into new movement and see how you react 

…you witness how you reflexively respond to others’ movement 

…you invite yourself to react in new ways to others’ movement 

…you notice how you respond when different music is playing 

…you invite music into your movement in new ways

Your facilitator, Lara Marcin, is a professional dancer and choreographer who has studied numerous dance styles, wiggles alone at home, dances ecstatically at parties and in ecstatic dance journeys, creates with heart in both the experimental and commercial art spaces, and has taught students ages toddler to elder.
