ABOUT NEOSUTRAS

Neosutras is a bold yoga and dance fusion style inspired by the primal rhythm of the universe, sacred geometry and yantric designs.

It fuses the ancient and modern movements, capturing connectivity and synchronicity through innovative and sensual movement.

This practice based on Hatha Yoga fundamentals, including dance that comes together to create unique asanas and elements made by creators of Neosutras: Lamonte Goode and Pola Rubis.

CLASS SCHEDULE:

Persian Classic Dance (Ages 10-18)

Persian classical dance takes inspiration from other forms of Persian art, including miniature paintings, calligraphy, music, poetry, and architecture, as well as regional folk dances. Unlike ballet and classical Indian dance, Persian dance is not codified with a set structure and vocabulary.

The highly stylized gestures may convey esoteric meaning but are interpretive and not structured like the storytelling of Indian mudras and asanas. Every dancer expresses the tonality and mood of the music uniquely while staying within the frame and aesthetics of what can be recognized as Persian.

Tuesday – 6:00 PM
Thursday – 6:00 PM
Sunday – 12:00 PM
