  • Ultimately, the groups are working together in quite intricate ways, improving timing and cooperation.

​

LEVEL 4: THE BIG APPLE

  • Skills gained in basic movement, movement improvisation, and use of balls allow people in this class to progress to more sophisticated musical styles.

  • Dancers, music groups, and all performing arts organizations in particular will want to progress to this level of skill and cooperation.

 

 

Eurhythmics classes use movement, gestures, and props for individual, partner, and larger group activities with a variety of musical styles to develop team building.  The classes also work participants' brains, much like juggling.  Some of the activities use balls and could be entitled "group juggling" which is a powerful team builder. 

 Note: Classes are offered in person with limited virtual options.
