Description

Open Community Dance Series with Sayer Mansfield

Tuesdays & Thursdays in the Dance Barn  

Spring/Summer 2026 classes start on April 28.

Time: 5:45 pm-6:45 pm (60 minute class)

COST: $15 per class or $60 for the entire series

Class Description: A movement class designed for all bodies and movers. This class is playful and physical. Together we will access pockets of possibility in our moving bodies and discover our incredible propensity for creativity and physical expression. Yoga, pilates, contemporary dance and guided improvisation all blend together to invite pure pleasure of movement and deep physical embodiment. Come for good music, good sweat and really feel good moves. This class truly is for all bodies, if you are not a dancer please don’t shy away - all that is needed is an open mind and curious body.

Teacher Bio: Sayer grew up in the woods of Massachusetts where she was raised part in the garden and part in her mother’s yoga studio. Movement and nature have been the love language from the get go. Sayer is dancer, performer, choreographer and teacher who has spent the past decade dancing with Pilobolus Dance Theater and Compagnie Marie Chouinard (Montreal, QC.) Sayer holds a BFA from NYU Tisch School of the Arts, a BA from Trinity Laban (UK,) is a 500hr RYT and has been teaching yoga for over 16 years. Sayer has been an adjunct faculty member and guest artist at Jacob’s Pillow, Phillips Academy Andover, Roger Williams University, Harvard and Yale. After a decade of dancing with professional contemporary companies, she is committed to the exploration of independent creation and teaching - Sayer has presented her work at Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival, ART CAKE (Brooklyn, NY) and The Foundry West Stockbridge.
