Ririe-Woodbury and Minding Motion resources
Ririe-Woodbury and Ai Fujii Nelson, its education director, are offering some free online dance education resources. Ai writes, “We have recognized the gap – we haven't been offering much in live-stream options for the middle-school and high-school dancers. We are ready to step up the game and get those young dancers dancing with us!! One is a workshop of daily classes Monday through Saturday where students can sign up, the other one is a customized live-stream class each teacher can arrange with us…”

Write to Ai at education@ririewoodbury.com to learn more. In addition to K-12, resources, RW is also directing those interested in movement classes for older adults to Ririe-Woodbury Outreach Director and Minding Motion co-founder Juan Carlos Claudio, “who will guide students through a series of gentle two to four minute movement sequences that incorporate coordination, range of motion, fine, and gross motor functioning from the comfort of your home. These short dances can be done in a chair, standing behind a chair or standing. Please share with your loved ones and anybody who might enjoy these resources…”
