Karima Borni

One of the best classes I have taken at Middlebury. For someone with little dance experience this class was so liberating. Karima is an incredible instructor, so kind and understanding, and also knowledgable and passionate. Really a cool experience.

I took this course as a second semester Feb last fall and it was a wonderful experience. Most of my classmates were seniors or senior febs on their way out and so their experience and what they brought to the table were invaluable. This is one of two classes I've taken at Middlebury where my classmates and I formed a close community inside and outside of class. It helped that the class was just 12 people and our labs on Wednesday afternoons had us embrace looking and feeling silly as we worked through improvisational exercises. Core readings for this course were Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer and Becoming Animal by David Abrams. No dance experience required!

I enjoyed this course and thought it was a wonderful introduction to Midd's dance department. Professor Borni was a wonderful and kind instructor with lots of experience and expertise. No exams, or any real grades (until the final grade) but I would be very very surprised if anyone walked away from this class with a poor grade
