Seeking Movers and Groovers

Choreographer and community artist Ashley Hensel-Browning is currently looking for people of all ages and backgrounds to participate in an intergenerational dance group based in Springfield. Participants will take class, learn, and make dances with each other, exploring how movement can be used as a source of expression and connection across generations. Together we will create original works that will be shared in future dance concerts. Dancers of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds are desired.


Ashley has danced with members of the Dance Generators, an intergenerational dance company based in Amherst, MA and currently works as a teaching artist in schools throughout Vermont and Massachusetts. She is co-founder and artistic director of ZoAsh Dance, a modern dance company that explores contemporary dance-making in a variety of venues that encourage audience engagement. Her work is often community-based, attempting to bridge connections between different populations of people. She has performed at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston, MA, Mass MOCA in the Berkshires, and at the International Festival of Art and Ideas in New Haven, CT. She also teaches modern at the Dance Factory in Springfield.

No previous dance experience necessary. But honestly, who really has no dance experience? If you or your loved ones love to move and may be interested in participating, please contact Ashley at dancewithashley@gmail.com for more information.
