Connection and Community through Comedy and Dance.
Our Workshops
We use movement to connect people to their bodies and each other through storytelling, games, and playful dance-making.
University Students
Comedy and dance are a great way to build community. These workshops get students connecting through movement games, theatrical hijinks and a mock game of Dancify That! Great to break the ice or to deepen connection among student communities. More info here.
Actors
Our actor workshops focus on getting participants out of their heads and into their bodies. We use a variety of physical theater and clowning exercises to expand gestures into dance, increase physical awareness on stage, and parody competition.
Dancers
Dancer workshops focus on playful choreographic practices and presence on stage. We explore character, storytelling, expressiveness and finding comedy and connection through dance-making.
Kids
These SEL focused workshops get kids exploring how movement can express emotions and tell stories. We use a variety of playful prompts from animals to sports to food, feelings, and stories to get kids connecting to their bodies and each other. For grades 1-5. More info here.
Our facilitators are experts at fostering camaraderie and creating a welcoming environment that ensures all participants feel empowered to make creative decisions and have a blast.

“The students love this workshop and the participation grows every year. The focus on play and good natured competition helps build community, and gives students an outlet to make bold choices in a safe space. The spirit of fun, and need to commit quickly and wholeheartedly has lead to daring performances by even the most self-conscious students. I have clearly witnessed the students’ confidence grow with their participation in Dancify That.”

Workshop Specifics
All specifics regarding size, duration, and pricing of workshops are flexible but our most popular is a 2 hour workshop filled with games and exercises that culminates with a mock “Dancify That” show.
Space Requirements:
Sufficient space will vary on the number of participants, but we’ll obviously need space to MOVE. A space where we are “not disturbing the neighbors” meaning our dancing feet and music (played at a reasonable volume) won’t bother anyone. For a group of 8-30, we’d recommend the space be 20’ x 30’ at a minimum.
It’s flexible. If you’re interested, we’ll figure out how to make it happen.
