March 24th **Get Up to Get Down (Floor work expert class) ** 11am-1pm in SF at Center for Sex and Culture 1349 Mission St San Francisco, CA 94103:

Chicago's Tila Von Twirl brings a playful class exploring the ins and outs of, well, getting up and getting down. We will begin with basic stretching and strength as these are two key elements in making transitions smooth, and then move on to the good stuff. Next the class will move to techniques such as kicking, rolling, kneeling and posing with beautiful lines. YouÕll learn how to gracefully move from standing to kneeling to lying down. There will also be a chance over the course of the class to workshop sections of an existing act. NOTE - this kind of work is dependent of the foot wear that you have. A small heel with a flexible sole is best to learn in. A hard soled, very high heeled shoe will be very hard and/or impossible to work in.
