This is us being nimble and flexible and pushing up through the cracks because we lean into resource and our nervous systems need this in ways that are not possible to say or feel in words, and that is exactly why we move our bodies and dance.
AUGUST 19th-22nd // 10am-1pm // Corbett, OR.

What happens when It’s a Fucking Miracle becomes a three hour experience multiple days in a row? What happens when we take it out into wild spaces? What happens when we attend to presence, to perception, to sensation and to reciprocity? What happens when we dance wild emotion and reverence for this moment right now? How do we do this together and how do we do this with expanded room for all of us, and all parts of us to show up, including our past, present and future selves? Through deep somatic inquiry, improvisation, movement exploration and dancing our asses off we come together for 4daysinarow: It’s a Fucking Miracle workshopping it out one second at a time
Join us: Suniti Dernovsek, Tahni Holt and Luke Wyland for this wild ride where we dance our weird, sweaty, we can’t stop fucking shaking our bodies, we are alive, we are exhausted, we are feeling into our individual and collective grief, we are ecstatically moving our bodies with the wind that we feel brushing against our skin, with the sky quite literally above our heads and with the ground beneath our feet. It’s a fucking miracle we breathe, we move, we sweat, we love, we anger, we feel anything at all, it’s a fucking miracle.
Oh and did we tell you about the potluck dance party at the end of the four days to celebrate (big word here that can hold all emotions) all that is. This is happening too.
-August 19th-22nd in Corbett, OR 10AM-1PM (and then you are close to the sandy river or gorge to enjoy the rest of your day)
-We would love to help with carpooling. Let’s make sure all who want to come can come and help cut down on carbon
-Sliding scale $150-$200 (for all 4 days including dance party potluck ceremony) If you can pay more, please do, to ensure that all get to participate and that Suniti, Tahni and Luke get paid

COVID PROTOCAL:
It is imperative that we keep ourselves and our community safe. We will activate the most up to date Oregon Health Authority guidelines. All activities will be outside. The restroom is a stand alone facility where we ask that you mask up when you go. Due to the alarming rate that the Delta variant is spreading we ask that everyone who participates be vaccinated. This includes all teachers (us) and you. You are free to wear a mask at any point during the workshop but it is only mandatory when you use the restroom. These guidelines are subject to change to match the changing guidelines of OHA, with the exception of being vaccinated by the time of the workshop.
We understand that there are many factors that are everchanging and out of our hands. That is why we have a full refund policy in place. This includes but is not limited to the case where we have to cancel the workshop due to air quality issues because of late summer forest fires in our region.
Questions you might be asking:
-Yes you can take just 2 days of the class or 3: $50Xthe amount of days (tell us which days you plan on coming so we can organize accordingly)

Some history if you are new to It’s a Fucking Miracle:
It’s a Fucking Miracle was (and will be again) a weekly class that started in 2018 at FLOCK Dance Center because Suniti, Tahni and Luke wanted to collaborate together and share their belief that the body is the way in to a larger sense of connection and belonging. When we dance with intention through somatic practices and deeper inner awareness, emotions move and we are moved by them. When we dance to great music within community something larger than our individual selves take shape. It is a dance party, an exercise class, a somatic lesson, a play date, it’s a fucking miracle. We offer our class as a container to move into your emotions, to feel into the truth of where you are at, to support things shifting in your body, to help you with your practice of self care, and to literally feel the dance inside of you. The truth of it is dance is so much more than moving a body through space. We can pretend that this is just a dance class, and that in itself is enough. And so we do, It’s a Fucking Miracle is a dance class.
