Move, Play, Listen: A 3-hour Modern Dance Workshop 2/21/2026
Maryn Whitmore
Move, Play, Listen: A 3-hour Modern Dance Workshop
Join Maryn Whitmore, director of The Venn, and step into a space where curiosity leads the way and movement feels like discovery. In this three-hour workshop, dancers of **all levels**, from true beginners to seasoned movers, are invited to explore modern dance technique through a playful, welcoming lens.
We’ll warm up by tuning in: gentle somatic practices help you connect with your breath, soften unnecessary tension, and wake up the body’s natural intelligence. From there, we’ll move into modern dance fundamentals. Think groundedness, weight shifts, and expressive phrasing, all taught with openness so everyone can move at their own pace.
The second half of the workshop opens into improvisation: games, guided explorations, and creative prompts that spark imagination and encourage you to move in ways that feel authentic, surprising, and fun. Expect laughter, experimentation, and moments of risk and frenetic fun.
By the end, you’ll leave with a fuller sense of your own movement voice, a refreshed connection to your body, and the joy that comes from dancing in community. No previous experience required. Just bring a bit of curiosity and a willingness to sweat and play.
Class Fee: $50*
