Music Empathy Workshop
Tuning In Before You Move
In this workshop, we focus on feeling before reacting. Music Empathy is about listening beyond the beat—it's about understanding the emotional intention behind the sound. Together, we’ll explore how to tune in to the mood of a track, asking: What is the producer, musician, singer, or composer trying to make us feel?
We’ll begin by listening deeply—identifying tone, texture, and mood—before we ever move. From there, we’ll dissect each instrument: how it moves, how it breathes, and how it builds the world of the song. Then we’ll practice accenting, responding to, and complementing each element with intentional rhythms—our rhythms—rather than defaulting to the most obvious choices.
This isn’t about just being on beat. That’s too basic. It’s about matching the right movement to the entire composition—being specific, honest, and musically connected in how we interpret and embody what we hear.
Whether you're a freestyle dancer, choreographer, or creative mover, this workshop invites you to deepen your musical sensitivity, strengthen your interpretive choices, and refine your relationship to sound.

Sept 6th 2025 12pm - 2pm EST on Zoom
$35 fee
Only 12 spots available to keep the class intimate.
A zoom link will be sent to your email latest on the day of the workshop.
