Jesse Stanbridge
The Foundation and the Flow
Vintage Vibes
Let’s take a journey through time and space… late 90s/early 2000s! Old school movements, music and sets! We’ll drill some movements and do some set exercises that were a fixture at the SF South Van Ness studio.
Rattlesnake Shake
Ready to shake things up? In this workshop, we’ll explore how to layer, control, and let loose with a variety of shimmies, then we’ll slide into silky-smooth figure 8s that feel as good as they look. No matter your experience level, this class is all about having fun!
Jill Parker
The Alchemy of connection:
A Jill Parker Immersion
Enjoy an immersion with Jill Parker that blends creative partner vocabulary, technical refinement, and healthy alignment for embodied improvisation into one seamless experience
What you’ll explore •Partner Vocabulary: Learn dynamic combinations. Turkish Tango, Moroccan Campfire, Forbidden Fruit, Partner Pass, Clover Turn and a range of traveling and turning patterns, then practice weaving them into the partner format you already use so phrases feel fresh yet familiar. •Sharpen Your Tools: Develop mindful, sustainable technique with coaching on body awareness, healthy alignment, efficient muscular engagement, and clear visualizations. Strengthening and conditioning work focuses on footwork, balance, reliable turns, and stronger spins, all taught with injury prevention and long-term dance longevity in mind. •Feeling the Movement Embody: Move beyond mechanics into authentic expression. Cultivate breath-led intention, phrasing, dynamic contrast, elegant transitions, and micro-adjustments that refine lines, landings, timing, and phrasing so movement feels lived in rather than memorized. Learn simple compositional strategies for confident improvisation and intuitive musical connection. Format •Integrated classes combining drills, partner practice, technique labs, and embodiment sessions. •Guided practice to apply technical tools directly into partner phrases and improvisational dance. Outcomes •Expanded partner-dance vocabulary you can seamlessly integrate. •Stronger, safer technique for better balance, turns, and spins. •Increased fluidity, expressive phrasing, and confidence improvising with partners and music.
