Open level tap is the perfect class for someone brand new to tap, brushing off their shoes for the first time in a while, or who taps regularly. The class will consist of a warm up working with all parts of the shoe and foot, across the floor skills, and a fun open-level combination. At all points steps can be modified to be easier or harder depending on the individuals dancer's level. Dancers are encouraged to push their comfort zone while creating music with their feet! (Tap shoes are encouraged but not required.)

Pradhuman Nayak is teaching Kalaripayattu Yoga at The Breathing Room! (763 Mass Ave, #7 - entrance is between Life Alive and 1369 cafe in Central Square)
Classes are Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays 2-3pm through the end of April.
Each class will be limited to seven people, so you’re guaranteed personal attention in an ancient form.
THE CLASS: The kalaripayattu namaskar follows a sequence of movements drawn from the ancient South Indian martial art form of kalaripayattu, which legend traces back some three thousand years to the sage Parasumara — and which the British banned in the 19th century to discourage rebellion.
The yoga of kalari payat is meant to pull the energy of the sun into the body and build strength, balance, awareness and focus. Pradhuman’s class builds from gentle stretching to vigorous movement and will leave you feeling open and connected.
No mats will be necessary.
THE INVESTMENT:
- $15 at the door (space permitting)
- $10 if you pre-register at: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=J73Z66LYQW6D6
