Karima Borni

I used to dance and took this class to get back into it a bit. Loved Kari so much. So so accommodating and her class is obviously well-thought through. Each class is roughly half dance and half discussion, and the dance and discussions are both very accessible for all levels. Every class usually has one to two 250 word responses due and there is a daily journaling assignment that is purely honor system. Really helps you get in tune with your mind and body which was lovely for j-term. Final project is very fun and she grades based on effort so no concerns about not necessarily being an artistic genius.

The class was one of the most fun and easy classes I have taken at the college. I loved how professor Borni was so amazing and chill. the fieldwork were soo fun. I loved the class. She made us read very short and interesting readings, she took us on field trips to the forest and made us write journals which were all very easy and fun.

Body & Earth was one of the most fun courses that I have taken at Middlebury. The structure of the course was super helpful. We had one indoor/lecture session where we would get together, practice movement indoors, and discuss the readings. Apart from that, there was a weekly field trip where Kari would take us to different places around campus, where we had a lot of opportunities to practice movement, mindfulness, and reflect. Taking this course was a great decision and I highly recommend it to anyone interested!
