What's On in Mount Riverview

Fan Dance is a gentle, expressive movement class that explores flow, sensuality, and presence through somatic awareness and the use of silk props. This class invites you to move slowly and intentionally, allowing sensation, breath, and curiosity to guide your movement. Drawing from somatic practices and expressive dance, we work with vegan silk veils and silk fan veils to explore softness, extension, and fluidity. We also use vegan feather fan options and fishbone fans. The fans become an extension of the body, supporting both strength and ease as we develop coordination, control, and graceful range of motion. The focus is on embodied experience rather than choreography or performance. Expect a calm, supportive environment with guided movement exploration, standing sequences, and optional floor-based work. We build functional strength, mobility, and upper body endurance while maintaining a gentle, nervous system aware pace. Options are always offered and you are encouraged to move in a way that feels supportive and self-led. Vegan/cruelty-free non-silk fan alternatives are provided for all students for use in class. Fan Dance is suitable for all bodies and experience levels. No prior dance or prop experience is required. This class is ideal for anyone wanting to explore movement, creativity, and sensual expression in a way that feels safe, spacious, and nourishing. Come as you are. Move with softness and strength. Leave feeling open, grounded, and embodied.

Somatic Sensual Noir is an embodied burlesque class that explores sensuality through slow, intentional movement, presence, and nervous system awareness. This class is about feeling rather than performing, allowing sensation, emotion, and expression to emerge from within.
