Free Baltimore Yoga is a safe space grounded in community movement. Our sessions aim to be accessible trauma-informed, nervous- system -focused, and breath- centered. All ages! Bharatnatyam is one of the oldest dance forms in India and the root of Indian dance. Bharatanatyam weaves emotions, “Bhava”, with complex footwork, “Nritta”, to depict our cultural stories through dance, “Natya.” The form has a rich tradition of narrative elements that are intertwined in different aspects of our performances. Abhinaya is the art of expression in Bharatanatyam. It involves facial expressions, eye movements, and body language to portray the emotions and narrative of a dance piece. Through abhinaya, dancers bring characters and their stories to life, evoking a range of emotions in the audience. |

This drop-in figure drawing course is suitable for all skill levels. Untrained new artists will learn multiple approaches to figure drawing while seasoned artists will have the opportunity to hone their skills and further train their eye. Each class will feature a nude model and begin with quick gesture poses. The remaining time will be spent on the artistry of longer poses. The goal is to train all artists to more quickly and fluidly capture the gesture of the entire figure. |

Los instrumentos musicales han facilitado la comunicación y la autoexpresión humana desde los albores de la cultura. Al aprender sobre los instrumentos de la antigua América y al construir y tocar los nuestros, nos reconectamos con la naturaleza, cultivamos la presencia corporal a través del trabajo con arcilla y despertamos la alegría a través del sonido y la creación musical. |
