Feldenkrais class Awareness Through Movement (ATM) is a component of the Feldenkrais Method, which is a mode of somatic education. During an ATM class, students engage in precisely structured movement explorations that involve thinking, sensing, moving, and imagining. Many lessons are based on developmental movements and ordinary functional activities. Some are based on more abstract explorations of joint, muscle, and postural relationships. The lessons consist of comfortable, easy movements that gradually evolve into movements of greater range and complexity. ATM lessons attempt to make one aware of his/her habitual neuromuscular patterns and rigidities and to expand options for new ways of moving.

Tribal fusion bellydance class combines Middle Eastern movement traditions with American stylizations for a class that is fierce, fun, and fabulous. Here, we treat each individual shape and set of abilities not as a deviation from an ideal but rather as a chance to express a unique personality. Each class begins with a long yoga-inspired warmup designed to open and awaken the particular muscle groups used in bellydance, continues to a set of breakdowns and drills that get into the micromuscles and isolations used to create the set of movements the class will focus on, and then spends time looking at how to build and create one particular group of expressive movements. Classes are emphatically multi-level: while new dancers are especially welcomed, dancers of all levels of experience will find new articulations to explore.
