Introduction to Dance

This course is very relaxed and absolutely suited to anyone who has 0 previous experience with dance. Meshi is a lenient grader for the few assignments he gives, and doesn't evaluate your dance on technique - instead, he simply values active participation and willingness to step out of your comfort zone and try new things. If you are expecting to learn any specific dance style/technique, you will not find it in this course. It is very much focused on movement exploration and getting to know the body, which is a great experience in it's own way, just not what you'd conventionally expect from a dance class.

This course focuses more on yourself and your relationship with your body, as well as your confidence in expressing yourself. We don't really do much formal choreography nor traditional dance techniques, it's mostly improvisational and "letting your body move the way it wants to". The class environment is very welcoming and there are no mistakes, and the community that Meshi builds is a very supportive one. It's a great beginner course for becoming more comfortable in your body and being more confident in expressing dance.

I enjoyed getting to move a lot in this course. We danced every class, and I definitely felt more comfortable and confident dancing by the end of it. We didn't learn technique and rarely practiced choreography, which meant that people of any skill level could participate and the environment was very relaxed. On the other hand, the class did not include much "book learning" and could be very spiritual (which has pros and cons).
