Free Movement Festival
Return of the funk
postponed due to regulations pursuant to the Covid19 pandemic
Family, thank you so much for supporting the Free Movement Festival. As things are, we are not going to be able to move forward with the planned schedule. We will have to postpone the event until things get clear and we can reschedule...
While we are self-isolating, many creative movers are clearing space at home to keep up the practice, and even streaming it on line. It’s a great way to stay active and connected. If you do, please tag us, so we can let folks know to tune in!
Please stay tuned, stay safe, and stay moving!!!

Stay Tuned For Updates!!!
The Southern California and Global Movement Communities are realizing that the walls between movement styles are disappearing day by day. This is not a dilution of the roots, but an appreciation of the common ground we have. An appreciation of the things that we can teach to and learn from each other.
This year we are digging deep: We are also Bringing Back The Funk by Showcasing classes in Foundational styles: the Funkstyle genres of Popping and Locking as well as BBoying. We will also be having classes in House from Meech De France, and Tsunami Soulshifter, Freestyle theory and guidance from SuperDave Royster. We will also have African dance styles: Afro Fusion taught by Abagail Fritz, and West African taught by Jahanna Blunt, West African Choreographer for Beyonce. Alongside these dance styles, we will also have Capoeira Showcasing Contramestra Minha Velha and Professor Catinga do Mar as well as Yoga Nidra, Tai Chi, ChiGong, and more Restorative and Martial classes!!!
