About the Classes
BodyWAGGING: Axis Syllabus / Dance
In this class we'll apply information from biomechanics and functional anatomy to movement phrases. We'll study support architecture in a variety of postures and sequences, developing our ability to integrate the whole body for fluid movement.
Acrobatic Flow: Movement Exploration
This class combines acrobatic maneuvers, floor-based flow dancing and handstands. We’ll work with strategies for loading hands/wrists, accessing your 'backspace', and generating power for quick twitch action.
AGILE BEAST: Social Animals
As human primates, we evolved with specific movement patterns that shaped our bodies, reflexes and coordinations. Together we'll crawl, climb, run and throw. And we'll provide helpful resistance for each other to develop dynamic strength with interactive exercises and a variety of movement challenges.
Contact Improvisation & Movement Games
These sessions focuses on foundational CI techniques and partnering strategies, taught in a playful and engaging way. Participants will develop their skills and abilities through contact-based exercises that lead to exciting dances and apply what we have studied in the other classes.
About Spiral Camp
Spiral Camp was founded in 2019 in the San Francisco Bay Area by Shira Yaziv and Sebastian Grubb.
Our workshops build community through dance, acrobatics, contact improvisation, somatics, creative movement and functional anatomy. We're inspired to help participants improve their movement quality, learn new skills and connect with others.
Our participants come from different movement backgrounds. Some are strong in a particular discipline and want to have more variety in how they train and move. Others feel more like beginners but are eager to learn and have fun in a collaborative environment. And some are movement professionals and coaches, looking to expand their training and teaching knowledge.
