InterPlay
with Indi Dieckgrafe, MFA
![Calendar](https://d9j5qtehtodpj.cloudfront.net/images/icons/color-calendar.png?version=207205)
InterPlay is a creative form of movement/dance and play appropriate for all ages and abilities. Class begins with a warm-up and then moves into a series of “forms” that allow you to play with movement, simple stories, and voice. The forms are taught incrementally and are easy to learn, allowing you to connect with your inner self and with others. No one is judged or put on the spot, and you can sit out and observe whenever you care to. InterPlay integrates body, mind, heart and spirit, and is the perfect antidote to stress. Please wear comfortable clothing and be ready to move.
