Loosening Up with Angela Trimbur

“There is a freshness to the way she teaches; an entirely nonjudgmental celebration of the way it feels to move collectively. Many people drive all the way from upstate to take a class, many people have never danced before in their life and absolutely everyone feels like an old friend. Her classes are joyous, not too serious and completely supportive—especially if you’re someone who can barely bring themselves to dance in front of a mirror.”

“When she first came into the room, she cosplayed as a ballet company’s artistic director (image below). The intent was for us to feel like we’re in a ballet company, but turned on its head. Instead of the anxiety-inducing cross-the-floors of my adolescence, here we’re told to walk across the room like an uptight dancer who needs to take a shit.”
