The Deep Dive

Join us for weekly Sunday open rehearsal dance exploration in NYC as we workshop and practice our skills and artistry in preparation for our monthly  event, the Pearl Dive, as well as Pearling in the community. Fusion dance encompasses the broad matrix between social and performative dance, fine art and folk art. Material may include multi-channel connection, artistry of movement, musicality, balance, weight-sharing, and more. 

**LOCATION!**

Sundays 3-5pm at The Brooklyn Lair (except when noted, see FB invites.) 

Sept 29 - NO Dive - teaching a special tango fusion lesson and social event at 4pm in Manhattan

Join our WhatsApp chat group or email collective@pearling.org for address & details.

Comfortable indoor dance shoes or socks and stretchy clothing recommended (as well as extra shirts and deodorant!). 

No street shoes on the beautiful sprung studio floor, please.

Past Topics include:

April: Artistry & Air Steps

Our bodies are our medium, our brushes, and our canvas.  We will expand and refine our expressive  palette of gesture and form by exploring movement quality, and building safe basing and flying techniques.

March into Musicality

We’ll be experimenting with various dance-music relationships including a very wide range of genres over the next four weeks, developing ways and means to channel and connect that inspiration between ourselves and our partner. 

February: Footwork Fun

Each week we will explore different variations from foundation through expansion, building fluency in rhythmic complexity, stylistic phrasing, and lots of embellishments. Improving our facility in synchronizing and contrasting our partner’s footwork is a great way to increase functionality and artistry in both lead and follow roles!
