What to expect!

Mindfulness, generosity, risk-taking, and musicality are what you will find most present in Thryn Saxon’s contemporary classes. Inspired by an early upbringing in improvisation and creative movement, Thryn encourages intuitive decision-making and deep listening in her class-takers. Valuing research over spectacle, she guides dancers through a series of highly articulate, full-bodied exercises and movement phrases with a central focus on attention to the present moment. Supple floor work, technical attunement, and expansive choreography characterize her classes. Connecting from self to earth, earth to space, and space outward toward community is her studied order of operations. By the end of class, Thryn hopes to have you sweating, smiling, and satisfied after a class full of deep-thinking delight.

Open-level classes are exactly that—classes open to and encouraging of whoever shows up. Modifications and questions are supported and encouraged!
