Valerie Green/Dance Entropy will be part of the largest-ever Car-Free Earth Day celebration this year, offering a Get Up and Dance Workshop

Location: Flatiron Plaza

Time of event: 3PM - 4PM

Get Up and Dance workshops are rooted in the philosophy that all bodies can benefit from dance. Participation in the art form increases cognitive and physical skills and fosters creativity through the use of imagery and music.

“Skimming the Surface: Movement Healing Workshops” aim to service adult and youth populations that may be overcoming diverse forms of trauma and stress through somatic based expressive movement exercises. These workshops will help participants release blocked and repressed energy causing stress or discomfort in one’s life by integrating movement, feelings, and emotions.

The workshop helps participants confront emotional wounds and bring them to the surface in a gentle and compassionate way. When using the language of movement rather than words, different images or emotions may arise, which bypass the controlling and censoring mind. This experience leaves participants feeing expanded and curious about their emotions, with new insights to move forward from.

Each movement journey is handcrafted to best support the participants. Green serves as a guide to help open doorways where each individual will do their personal work, leading them to a heart centered and intuitive place, finding a physical expression and release of emotions and energy whereby a healing process can begin.

We begin with a series of floor exercises designed to awaken the feet, spine, center, and pelvis. Next, standing center work focuses on exercises supported by proper alignment throughout the body. The class culminates in rhythmical, full-bodied movement combinations across the floor.

The Hawkins-based principles emphasized in this class are universally beneficial to dance training at all levels.
