To ensure the safety of our dancers and do our part for community health and well-being, Art as Action will be suspending in-person Reconnect with your Body classes until we feel it is safe to return. 

In times of turbulence where anxiety and fear are impossible to escape, dance provides us with an outlet to express our feelings and have a safe space to feel vulnerable.  Under these extraordinary circumstances, though, the risk of being together is higher than the benefit.

We are offering classes online through Zoom – if you are interested in dancing with us from the safety of your own home please email me for the details.  In true Reconnect form, we will treat this need to modify as an opportunity for creativity.

As my dance teacher said to me in an email this morning about cancelling her own classes: “we suspend so we can continue.”  We will keep everyone informed as things continue to unfold.  Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me with any questions or concerns, or just to check in.

Let’s all remember our Reconnect values as we navigate this difficult time.  Be gentle with yourself.  Remember to breath.  Only do as much or as little feels good and safe for your body.  You get a gold star just for showing up (or in this case, for staying home!)  If you’re feeling lost, put on some music and let it move you.  Our inner dancer wisdom and the support of our dancer community persists, even when we cannot be together.

yours in Art and Action, with deep gratitude,
Sarah Leversee
Artistic Director/Reconnect teacher
