New year, new class!

All Bodies Dance Project (ABDP) is an inclusive dance company located on unceded xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish) and Səl̓ílwətaɬ (Tsleil- Waututh) territory (Vancouver, BC, Canada). Our mission is to create opportunities for people of all abilities, genders, sizes, and backgrounds to practice, research, and create innovative, inclusive dance. In ABDP’s work, differences are regarded as creative strengths as we explore the choreographic possibilities of diverse ways of moving and perceiving. Our work blurs the boundaries between community-engaged and professional practice. We value the lived experience of movers both with and without disabilities and approach accessibility tools and practices from Disability Justice as sources of generative artistic possibility. Our practice aims to dismantle assumptions, biases, and default notions around contemporary dance, the theatre, and the dancing body. We want to expand the possibilities of who dances and what dance can be. allbodiesdance.ca

Connect with the joy of movement, imagination, play and self discovery all from the comfort of your home. Explore improvised dance through movement prompts, phrases, shapes, and activities that celebrate the diversity of inclusive community dance. No experience required; everyone is welcome. Move as much or as little as you would like. Participants are encouraged to have their video cameras on as much as possible and Gallery view is useful to be able to see everyone.

Classes are pay what you can.

Saturdays - January 4th, 18th, February 8th, 22nd, March 8th, 22nd - all from 1100am to 1230pm.

First new class of the season!!

We are thrilled to get the new roster of classes underway, and starting November 2nd, we have Ruth Naomi Levin!

Ruth Naomi Levin is an independent dance artist currently based in Edmonton, Canada. She holds a MFA in Dance from York University, is a graduate of the School of Toronto Dance Theatre and has performed and taught across North America. She is honoured to have performed with Maya Lewandowsky’s La Caravan Dance Theatre from 2014-2019 and the Margie Gillis Legacy Project since 2014, performing alongside such astounding artists and human beings as Ms. Gillis and the other dancers of the project. She has also been studying meditation for over eighteen years and is currently studying a conscious movement practice called Amerta Movement with Mala Sikka and Terry Hagan. Lastly she teaches and facilitates transformation through embodiment through her company Embodied in Motion. www.embodiedinmotion.com

Ruth’s classes are designed to support movers into the wisdom and wonder of their own form. We focus on the underlying principles - connection with ground, non-judgement, connection with the environment - that naturally open the body, heart and mind to a greater sense of sacredness, connection, possibility and play.

The class runs Saturdays - November 2nd, 16th, 30th and December 14th, from 130-330pm.

Classes will be held in the Fringe Arts Barns, in either studio A or B.

Class is a pay what you can format, with the recommendation being a $5 minimum.
