Threads offers classes and workshops for adults from novice to professionals in a safe and welcoming environment. We also host several guest artists workshops and multi-week specific experiences for adults to move.  All adult classes are open to participants ages 16+.

Moving Towards Joy Workshop

Are you ready to step away from grief, trauma, and stress and take a restorative journey towards joy, healing, and connection? Join us for the ‘Moving Towards Joy’ workshop, a powerful 90-minute experience that combines movement, introspection, and journaling to guide you towards a more joyful and peaceful self.  No prior dance experience needed. Come as you are, and let's move towards joy together. 

Workshop Highlights: 

  • Connect with Your Body: Explore the connection between stress, trauma, and the body. Identify physical areas where tension is held and gain insight into your emotional landscape through journaling.

  • Embrace Joyful Movements: Discover the healing power of movement with guided exercises inspired by Resma Menakem's primal body movements. Create and share movement phrases that evoke joy, releasing trapped emotions.

  • Journal for Healing: Use the provided journal to process your journey towards a more joyful and peaceful place. Document your insights, reflections, and newfound clarity.

We also offer several Workshops that can be tailored for adult groups or can be taken by individuals when they are offered throughout the year.  Learn more about our workshop and residencies or email Angela at aericson@threadsdance.org to plan a workshop and learn more.
