GET YOUR ASS TO CLASS! This hour is designed for us to break a sweat, test our space + our aliveness, and practice with movement styles that straddle contemporary / modern forms with jazz + pop aesthetics.
Class will be interactive - there is space for questions, demonstration requests + brief post-dance chats. To start, I will lead us in an abbreviated warm up, building up to phrase work that moves in and out of the floor --- highlighting effort, athleticism, and musicality always with a strong soundtrack.
Artist BIo
Erin Kilmurray is a genre-straddling dance artist drawing on practices found in nightlife fulture, live performances, and space-making.

Through facilitating her various dance practices, she is committed to relentlessly amplifying women, queer folks, the underground and the underdog.
She is a Links Hall Fellow (2022-2023), recognized on Newcity magazine’s 50 People Who Really Perform For Chicago (2023), and a Chicago Dancemakers Forum Lab Artist (2021-2020).
