Ongoing: Sporty Yoga at the Rose
Mondays 6-7:30pm | $8 per class
This is a more athletic, dynamic take on the great American past-time. It suits us because the emphasis is on the kinds of coordination and strength that are relevant to moving.
WHAT LEVEL? We always give numerous options to accommodate different levels of ability and fitness. A
moderate level of fitness recommended-- run half a mile
at a 9min/mi pace, 5 pushups. Enuf mental toughness to
resist spending a hundred bucks on a pair of tights.
IS THIS FOR DANCERS ONLY? Nope. It's great for
dancers but it's for ALL athletic types who enjoy a good
cross-training surprise.
WHO TEACHES? Stephen Brown and Micah Jennings
WHERE? Enter the Rose through doors in the middle of the block. Head left thru the glass wall with snakes all over it. (You might have to try the north-most door if the others are locked.) Head up the big red stairs, take a regulator and you'll see the studio. There are lots of bathrooms throughout the facility. On the lobby level, behind the Blackbox theater, there are locker rooms with showers. It's a cool facility.
PARKING lots of metered spots just out front
WHAT TO BRING? A mat. Prepare to sweat.
PAYMENT: $8 per class. One price. You can buy multiples for convenience. You can pay there with cash, credit (no Amex). Or pay online here.

Teacher's Workshops: Dance and Theater for Thinking
Our professional development workshops center on helping students develop thinking habits and helping teachers establish a classroom culture where thinking is clearly valued. We discuss concepts, provide routines and tools, model these ideas, and discuss how to implement them.
Our workshops qualify participants for USOE relicensure points and credit. The first series of workshops took place 12/8/12 and 2/2/13. New workshops are planned for summer of 2013. Email us for more info.
Teachers: Stephen Brown and Carolyn "Winnie" Wood (Director and Associate Director of SB Dance)
Does something that we learn in the arts transfer to non-arts learning? It's an unproven hypothesis and many experts suggest that the trick to proving the transference hypothesis is to figure out what is actually being learned in the arts.
Stephen has experience in both arts and science. He graduated from Columbia University in Molecular Biology, Summa Cum Laude with a 4.0 GPA and worked in a fly lab before abandoning grad school for a career in dance. He remains interested in the differences and similarities between the thinking that occurs in the studio and in the laboratory and how one domain can learn from the other.
In addition to being a lifelong artist in dance, theater, visual art, and film, Winnie is on the faculty at Wasatch Academy, an international boarding school in Mt. Pleasant, Utah. There, she has developed and taught arts programs that have helped Wasatch Academy achieve the distinction of being the best high school in Utah and among the best boarding schools in the nation. In the summers, she teaches a renowned Shakespeare for kids program that incorporates actors ranging from 6 to 14 years old.
