BESCHRIJVING
I offer 5Rhythms practice in Quw'utsun on the 1st, 3rd, and sometimes 5th Wednesday of each month. These classes are invested in deepening realism, responsiveness and balance in our personal and communal life. I offer 5Rhythms in acknowledgement of our human condition in unstable times.
We can engage the 5Rhythms to support and cultivate our capacity to know ourselves, be basically well, and deliberately direct our creative attention. Care and awareness directed inward prepares ground for extending care and engagement to extend outward. We can be simultaneously bruised and capable of restoring, inundated and insightful, in need and generative. We can show up, decompress, relate, and leave strengthened and sparkled. We carry potential for positive movement.
I'm a white-bodied Gen X cis woman. I use she/her and they/them. I'm committed to ongoing education about how to hold and tend good spaces and relations for all.
I create classes with people across and between cultures, colours, creeds, genders and sexualities, sizes, life stages, (dis)abilities, and health situations in mind and in respect, with justice and liberatory intent, and with a commitment to continually learn.
Chairs available for seated dance. All 15 + welcome.
AANTEKENINGEN
DO NOT ATTEND if you are symptomatic with communicable disease.
MASKING IS WARMLY WELCOME but not required.
Pay at the door: cash or card, e-transfers also accepted to chantell@chantellfoss.com.
I set my class fees guided by 3 non-negotiable needs: transparency, sustainability, and solidarity.
Transparency:
Offering these classes is not profitable.
This is not a 'pay what you want' sliding scale. It's compassionate pricing, and it requires mutual honesty to succeed.
Sustainability:
Sustaining weekly practice without creating barriers for dancers or undermining myself is tricky.
If you require subsidized fees now, that's totally okay. Please increase your fee if your financial picture improves.
Solidarity:
I give my solidarity by offering reduced fee options and by welcoming anyone who can't pay.
You can give solidarity by carefully reading and digesting this, and by choosing your contribution from integrity.
$20 : STANDARD
This represents the bare-bones cost of running classes. Dancers paying under $20 are underwritten by other dancers and me.
$25 *or more!* : SPONSOR
Donating any amount over $20 supports my ability to sustain classes, and supports community members who face money barriers to participation.
$15 : SUBSIDIZED
This fee is for those able to meet basic needs but with little to no expendable income. It's for those for whom paying for class is a sacrifice,
but does not create hardship.
$10 : SPONSORED
This fee is for those who struggle to meet basic needs, and for whom paying for this class would create significant hardship.
$5 : SCHOLARSHIP
This is for those who cannot afford other levels.
Bottom line : I do not exclude people due to finances.
