Teacher

Engaging communities and students through performance, facilitation and organization

Regardless of where or with whom, Kara enjoys connecting with others through teaching and community organizing. Her facilitation has been described as “engaging”, “patient” and “empathetic.” Her inquisitive and inclusive approach is heavily influenced by progressive pedagogy and socially engaged dance practices.

Kara can be contacted about virtual or in-person teaching and programming including:

  • Classes for seniors in community spaces or elder care facilities

  • Intergenerational dance classes for families and communities

  • Classes for people of varying physical and cognitive abilities

  • Choreography for special events i.e. weddings, birthdays, community celebrations

Morning Jive

Supported by the Cambridge Citywide Senior Center

Wake up your body, mind and soul with stretching, strengthening and dancing while on your feet or in your chair. Music from the 1930’s - present day will keep us energized throughout our workout which draws from disciplines such as yoga, pilates, tap, jazz, West African, modern and ballet dance. No dance experience necessary. Movements will be demonstrated from a seated position but can be modified to be done while standing. We finish class with a body/brain workout by learning a short choreography to lively music. Classes are free and open to anyone 60+, anywhere. To register, call The Cambridge Council on Aging at 617-349-6220.
