Join us for a bi-weekly dance support space designed for artists to grow, explore, and receive feedback in community.
Dates: 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Thursdays of every month
6:00–8:00 PM
A dance support space created for movement artists to practice, experiment, and learn in community. Each session is open to students of all dance styles/forms and is designed to be a collaborative mentorship environment for personalized development as a performer, choreographer, freestyler, battler, or simply a practitioner. Participants will have the opportunity to explore movement and receive thoughtful feedback, encouragement, and guidance from both peers and facilitators. My intention is to explore movement together and find our own access points to freedom and liberation in our dance
Sliding scale $25-35(Please note: we are committed to making this space accessible; no one will be turned away for lack of funds.)

Lake Merritt Pergola
599 El Embarcadero, Oakland, CA 94610House Dance is a style of dance that originated in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s from underground clubs in Chicago and New York. It is a melting pot of many styles, such as Tap Dance, African dance, Latin dance, Capoeira and Hip Hop, as well as other street dance forms.
In this class, Rama explores groove, technique, footwork, body control, spins, feeling, connecting to the music, connecting with each other, and more. Rama teaches foundation and concepts, as well as phrases to put the ideas together, and space at the end to explore everything the student has learned.
This class is outdoors, in front of the beautiful Lake Merritt.
