We are leaving shame, perfectionism, and performance at the door as we travel deep to the depths through dance. We dance to access the truth, to heal, to surrender, to know Self.

We will be dancing to the depths, transcending consciousness, to the unknown. It is there that we come face to face with truth and acceptance.

It’s a beautiful space to say yes to YOU!!!

My body will open the door and guide you throughout the workshop. Your role is to stay present with your body and trust its innate wisdom. All emotions, movements, sounds, breathing, and expressions are WELCOME in this held space.

Our bodies are capable of more than we can often comprehend and have access to limitless amounts of information. Let’s open to that together!

No experience necessary ~ I will guide you

Music by Tom Snow; Lyrics by Dean Pitchford; Stage Adaptation by Dean Pitchford and Walter Bobbie

A musical version of the 1984 film! When teenager Ren McCormack moves from Chicago to a small town, he isn’t prepared for the stifling local laws, including a ban on dancing and rock music instituted by the local preacher. As he struggles to fit in, he encourages his classmates to defy the local pastor and call for a rock’n’roll prom. Fist pump!

“Footloose” combines songs from the hit 1984 soundtrack with dynamic new songs – and though it might seem like just a lot of fun, it also celebrates the wisdom of opening minds and listening to the voices of young people. Director Jerry Crouch, music director Lynda Ferrell Shuler, and choreographer Tina Pisano-Foor have put together an incredible cast of students and adults from our community to bring “Footloose” to life!

Bryan’s back at Danceclub for another day of Master Classes!
Choose from three different classes or take all three:

4:30-6 HIP HOP CHOREO LEVEL 1
Classes will encourage students to step outside the box by bringing their own individual style and personality to the movements. Choreography is emphasized more so in this class, while bringing in today’s most current swag moves.

6-7:30 JAZZ-HIP HOP CHOREO
This class presents a more fierce, yet sensual movement to a diva-like dance style. It takes elements from Hip Hop, Jazz & Waaking. This is where you can be your own star on stage.

$20 per class. Reserve your spot here: https://clients.mindbodyonline.com/classic/ws?studioid=330572&stype=-104&sView=day&sLoc=0

This drama, written and directed by local veterinarian Mark Thompson, will make its World Premiere at the theatre. Two veterinarians are finishing their day and have sent their staff home in advance of an approaching blizzard. With a knock at the door, they are presented with three men, one of which is unconscious and bleeding. What follows is a thriller with two vets, some bank robbers, a man with a gunshot wound and the worst storm they have ever seen. What could go wrong as the bank robbers make the vets perform surgery at gunpoint?

This year’s theme is “Wild, Wild Asheville.” So think wild west, wild animals, wild women or just plain getting wild! As always, the theme is just a helpful little nudge. You can feel free to incorporate it into your costume or krewe, or simply let your imagination run “wild” and show off your creativity in any way you see fit.

Members March!
While anyone is welcome to march in the parade, at least one representative of each krewe MUST be a member of Asheville Mardi Gras. Keep in mind that the only way the parade survives is through membership support, so if more than one person joins up — we would certainly appreciate it! To become a member, CLICK HERE. And, speaking of krewes …

Join a Krewe!
You’re welcome to march solo, or with a group of your friends as part of a krewe. You may even be able to join one of our existing krewes! All we ask is that you dress up, show up and bring some goodies like candy or beads to hand out to the parade attendees.

Parade Route
Parade participants will line up along Federal Alley from between 1 PM and 2 PM on March 3. The parade will then step off at its traditional time of 3:05 PM and head east on Hilliard Ave before turning south on Coxe Ave. The parade will then continue east on Banks Ave, turn briefly south on Church St., then west on Buxton Ave. and back to Federal Alley to finish up.

Details
Full parade details and krewe information can be seen on our website: https://www.ashevillemardigras.org/parade-and-queens-ball
