NuDance: Naked Movement & Dance
SO, what is NuDance?
Nudance is a naked movement and dance class founded in 2015 by Kyrill Tokarev & Eddy ‘damoN’ Lathan IV. NuDance is inspired by active naturism, urban street dance and movement-based art forms such as capoeira, tumbling, and even martial arts. Various elements of dance and movement are taught, encouraging the individual to find their own innate movements to form their own raw, organic freestyle and improvisation, which is at the heart of all movement and dance. Music accompaniment ranges from dance, house, funk, electronic as well as 'old school' classics and even pop hits, new & old!
NuDance classes throughout the past four years have been eclectic in what has been taught via dance. However, as the years have gone by during NuDance, there seemed to be a desire and need for various types of nude movement based classes in addition to dance. These include, but are not limited to, regular dance workshops, meditative movement classes, specialty classes like nude yoga+dance fusion and even gender specific classes focusing on body positivity, self love, and healing. NuDance has grown in that it has been able to evolve into more than its original intention of open dance classes.
NuDance hopes to inspire, motivate and even educate individuals not just in dancing and movement but to also be comfortable with who they are, own their own individuality, whether that be eccentric, introverted, extroverted, shy, open, heterosexual, LGBTQ or otherwise; all in all, NuDance stands to extend love and learning to and from our fellow human. We will continue to offer a wide range of classes ranging from dance classes, body positivity workshops, man to man connection workshops, naked contact improvisation, fusion classes and many more! We will keep you updated on all things NuDance, so stay tuned! (nude dancing/naked dancing/visual arts/New York)
