Fall is a great time to start a dance class!
We welcome new students to our Friday morning Zoom class taught by Ruth Botchan 10:30- noon,
and our Tuesday evening Zoom class taught by Avilee Goodwin three Tuesdays a month from 7:30-9
Some of our classes are now being held in the studio, in-person. Please email westernskystudio@gmail.com for specific dates
Based on Erick Hawkins' beautiful approach to dance technique, this is a gentle yet lively class, all ages welcome, advanced beginning to intermediate level.
We connect deeply with ourselves through movement, and connect with each other dancing together in our own spaces.
Awareness, alignment, flow, injury prevention, centering, strength and lengthening are some of what we focus on.
The contribution requested is $10-$15/ class
Please email if interested in trying a class, and we will send a link: ruthbotchan@gmail.com
With warm wishes for a great autumn, and wishes for a better world for all

Berkeley Moving Arts is a center for Modern Dance, Pilates, Tai Chi and Belly Dance in our beautiful East Bay studio. Our school emphasizes a body-mind approach, encouraging each student to enjoy the experience of moving while learning the principles of body movement. Our teachers are recognized in their respective fields as highly qualified instructors and practitioners.
Classes are offered for all levels of skill, from beginning fundamentals to advanced technique. We believe students thrive in a friendly, supportive atmosphere, with individualized attention and encouragement.
Classes
Our modern dance classes encourage the efficient use of the body’s structure, movement that is sensitive to the needs of the body, prevents pain and injury and allows the release of unnecessary tension for fluid, effortless movement.
