Dive Into Your Body

After Dark — A Moving Evening at Iluminado

A special Dance Conditioning class inside the Iluminado exhibit

A private Dance Conditioning experience at the Monterey Museum of Art

For one evening only, the Monterey Museum of Art is opening after hours to host a private gathering inside Iluminado.

This special edition of Dance Conditioning is designed for movers, contemplators, and anyone curious about how embodied practice and place shape one another.

This is a full Dance Conditioning class held within the Iluminado exhibit, created by myself and Hanif Panni, where immersion and interaction with the art become part of the practice itself.

We’ll let the atmosphere of the installation gently shape how we listen, respond, and move, cultivating fluidity, playful agility, and responsive intelligence in both body and mind.

This is not a performance or a curated visit — it’s a live, participatory practice inside an artwork created for this kind of shared experience.

Who this is for:

This experience is for you if:

• You love movement and have some prior experience with dance and/or physical conditioning.

• You enjoy the energy of moving with others, and feel uplifted by the social aspect of a shared physical experience.

• You want to cultivate more agility, feel better in your joints, and wake up with less pain and creakiness in your body.

• You’re curious about the intersection of art and movement.

• You’re interested in strengthening the neural connections between body and mind.

  
  
  
  

This may not be for you if:

• You’re looking for a traditional fitness workout or a performance to watch.

• You need personal instruction or are currently recovering from a serious injury.

• You have difficulty getting up and down from the floor.

Dance Conditioning
Strength, Fluidity & Resilience (With a Beat)

4 Class Series

Thursdays · 6:30–8:00 PM · Monterey, CA

Jan 8-29, 2026

The rhythm and joy of dance, infused with the power of full-body conditioning.

Designed for adults with prior movement experience, this series draws from floor work, primal movement, strength training, and mobility sequencing — all layered into a dynamic flow that reconnects you to your body’s vitality.

Each class guides you through coordinated transitions from standing to the floor and back again, challenging balance, building core and upper body strength, and enhancing proprioceptive awareness. Think of it as your weekly 90-minute reset — grounding, uplifting, and deeply satisfying.

Whether your background is in dance, somatics, or general fitness, this class offers a powerful return to embodied movement in a supportive group setting.

What to Expect

• Rhythmic movement set to music
• Integrated strength and mobility sequences
• Floor-to-standing transitions for full-body coordination
• A supportive, non-performative space
• Sweaty, grounded joy
