Dance Classes and Workshops with Sophia Eliana

Plants & Dance at Harmonist Sanctuary - every first Wednesday of each month (Wed. 7:00 - 8:15 PM).

• “Plants & Dance,” regularly accompanied by local Denver-based musicians, is a contemporary movement practice drawing inspiration from the fluidity, strength, and unique growth patterns of plants. Sophia Eliana invites dancers to embody the intricacies of plants during improvisational scores and choreographic instruction. Excerpts from plant-related poetry and horticulture studies are woven into Plants & Dance to supplement body and plant explorations. This dynamic class incorporates floor-work, improvisation, mindful body-alignment, and strength-training through the lens of modern, contemporary, and jazz technique-based routines. Open to all bodies, genders, and dance backgrounds! Sliding scale options available ($15 and $20 ticket tiers: here).

Barefoot Burlesque at Joy Movement Collective - Tuesdays (7:30 - 8:45 PM).

• Barefoot Burlesque is a flirty, fun, and energetic dance class offering students the space to connect to their most sensual selves. Cultivating dance communities of patience, empowerment, and inclusivity is integral to Sophia Eliana's teaching philosophy.

  This class begins with a thorough warm-up before diving into a spicy combo. Movement modifications are always available during Barefoot Burlesque as a means of prioritizing the well-being of dancers' bodies and the longevity of their training. Knee-pads recommended. Beg/int.
