Atalee Judy of Breakbone fame is breaking out the Core Excavation Project for ’09, which includes a new Sundays class at Hamlin Park (a reasonable 11-12:30am for you party animals)–yesterday was the second class, and they will run until April 5. The Core Conditioning Class for Intermediate and Advanced Dancers sounds like no joke; its description states
Class begins with isolation techniques honing on core muscles. Evolving from this centering state the class uses this movement to create cumulative phrases that stretch, strengthen, and inform the body.
