Responding to Surprises Class

In this 30-minute class, Margot and Amy warm up with two dances – one inspired by circles and the other by opposites – that help wake up our whole body. Next, we’ll explore in dance this question: “How do we respond to a surprise?” Especially when it’s something we don’t like? In this dance about resilience and resourcefulness, Amy will imagine a scenario in which her friend can’t come to her party. While Amy initially feels like she’s been ‘stood up,’ she finds an alternate way to spend time with her friend.
