Caterpillar Diagonal: Expanding the Formation

What if the classic ATS® Diagonal formation had a secret life of its own? In this workshop, we’ll explore a dynamic take on the traditional Diagonal—one that expands, contracts, and glides across the floor like a mysterious, many-legged creature. You'll learn cues, transitions, and group awareness techniques to bring this captivating concept to life while maintaining strong connection and flow. Curious movers welcome!

Let's Play Group Improv! 

In this playful workshop, Kae shares dynamic and fun combos that push the edges of your familiar ATS/FCBD® dance vocabulary, along with a simple cueing system to bring them into group improvisation. Dancers will explore new ways to connect and communicate through movement, all while building trust, creativity, and spontaneous joy in the dance circle. All levels welcome! Bring your finger cymbals if you'd like an extra challenge!
