Classes, Workshops, and Event Info
ZUZI! Dance | 738 N. 5th Ave., In The Historic Y, Tucson, AZ 85705
Spring Classes Begin January 14th
Aerial Trapeze Dance
Students combine dance with low-flying single point trapeze in a supportive & safe environment. In addition to learning aerial skills, students work on incorporating floor dancing with aerial, building spatial awareness, trust, & cooperation. All levels welcome.
NEW!!
Open Floor Aerial Jam
Students explore opportunities for shared practice. There is *no* official instruction at these jams, just opportunities for more practice and sharing with others who also love to fly and experiment.
NEW!!
Youth and Adult Modern Dance
Develop and tone your muscles and core, while enhancing your sense of flow and coordination in space and rhythm. Gain some solid technical skills that you can apply to any dance form, while also contributing and understanding your own creative style.
Improvisational Dance
No prior dance experience needed. These classes are designed to encourage movement expressions through improvisation techniques. Students will be guided through movement explorations to build self awareness, expand movement vocabulary and discover new ways to dance. Together we create an inclusive, participatory and collaborative environment where each dancer can contribute his/her unique creative energy to the group.
Skinner Releasing
No experience is necessary to enjoy this innovative approach to creativity and the healing arts (yoga, body work etc.) which promotes postural alignment, movement efficiency, and tension reduction. This class weaves poetic imagery, music & tactile exercises to integrate the whole self and tap into the creative process for each individual.
Feldenkrais
Awareness Through Movement® (ATM) lessons are an amazing way to learn to move with more confidence, elegance and power and improve the quality of all your actions. Specific verbally guided movement sequences present an opportunity to recognize personal movement habits that enable you to move well and also those that interfere with your intentions. The lessons range from early learning of infants and children to highly complex skills required for sports, yoga, performing arts and the martial arts. An atmosphere of non-judgment allows individuals of a wide range of ages and abilities to learn at their own pace.
Aerial Dance Choreography
This class is an approach to aerial dance through choreography (making your own dances) both in the aerial and on the floor, in a supportive and fun environment. We will explore approaching the trapezes as a way to create crafted solo dances within an image based landscape. Formal aspects of trapeze technique will also be addressed as needed but the majority of the class will be compositional and experiential. Aerial experience is required to attend these classes.
How to Build a Daily Creative Habit…. and Keep It!
Have you tried to keep a daily journal, practice a daily movement ritual, produce a sketch a day, or form another kind of creative habit, but gave up when things got busy? Often times, when setting a new creative goal, we give up and grow frustrated. This New Years, set a resolution that you can keep and will help you grow. Come learn how to develop a lasting creative habit.
Day 1: Saturday, January 5th, 2019, 10-11am
Formulate a creative habit and learn how to keep it. Then go home and keep in touch by email daily for 1 week.
Day 2: Saturday, January 12th, 2019, 10-11am
Report back to the group and learn how to refine your habit/approach.

SUPPORT A WORTHY CAUSE
ZUZI! mission is to illuminate and empower personal expression, particularly for those who do not have full agency for their internal voices. Our classes and camps, our biannual No Frills variety show, biannual Solstice Concerts, Community Workshops, Residencies, and the many dance and theater groups, all support individuals and groups in creating live art.
We believe dance is the voice of the soul and that individual perspectives shared and shaped with others create a healthy community. Your contributions are what allow us to continue our work. Your direct financial contribution, which is fully tax-deductible, will make it possible for ZUZI! to continue to develop the creativity and identity of our community.
