This pedagogy course explores the teaching philosophy of the founder of ‘Danceability’ teacher, Connie Michael.

As an improvisational workshop, students explore the idea of sensation, relationship, time and design in regards to self-improvement, moving with others, community, and the environment. No dance experience needed and all abilities are welcome. The course takes place in a wheelchair accessible building and studio. Connie Michael, Assistant Professor, MA, is a certified ‘Danceability’ teacher after completing the Danceability teacher training course with founder, Alito Alessi, as part of the Impultanz International Dance Festival in 2012 in Vienna, Austria.
