Some clips from last night’s performance ✨

Those little claps are my baby clapping in the audience, throughout the dances. He has a classical taste like Mama 👼

In this video you’ll see clips of:

Narcissus Waltz (chor.Isadora Duncan)

Prelude (chor.Isadora Duncan)

“For Adrienne” (chor Courtney Ramm)

Nicknamed “Sisters mazurka” after my mother Adrienne Ramm performed this duet with her sister across stages in NYC…they called it Sisters and the name stuck!

A playful vignette of two young women dancing, gossiping, parting and coming together …

“Hear ye, hear ye- entertainment awaits.”

“…And villagers so inclined may come and feast their senses upon modern ballet dancers, Renaissance-era choral music and more. In other words, RammDance’s modern ballet studio is joining forces with a live chorus from Areté Singers to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the West Coast Arts Foundation. One may come out to watch and maybe even join in as RammDance puts on a show to celebrate the West Coast Arts Foundation’s quarter-century anniversary in appropriate style, pomp and circumstance.

RammDance Company’s performance will take place at 2pm on April 26 at the West Coast Arts Foundation performance studio in San Rafael, located at 1554 Fourth St. To learn more, visit rammdance.org.

Dancing (and performing) and partnering while 5+ months pregnant is not the easiest thing I’ve done …. But on the other hand it’s so natural to just keep moving !!

Every week I ask my partner if he can lift an additional pound 😆😉🤰

The long version from Priscilla (mom of 5-year old RammDance student):

My daughter has been taking ballet classes with Teacher Courtney for 1.5 years now. She has taken small group classes, large group classes, and currently takes private lessons.

Through all the classes, Courtney is consistently so positive and such a pleasure to have as a teacher. She is inspiring as a dancer since she herself is such an amazingly beautiful dancer, which I find important as a role model for my daughter.

But the thing that stands out above all else is her patience. In all of the classes we’ve participated in, whether private or group classes, Teacher Courtney is so incredibly patient! She allows the children to bring their own personalities to the class and is understanding of each child’s individual needs.

Teacher Courtney is a gem to have as a dance teacher! We feel so lucky to have her as our daughter’s teacher and as I am writing this, my daughter has asked me to include that, “I love taking Teacher Courtney’s class!”

Thank you, Teacher Courtney!

Love receiving positive feedback from happy parents and students!!

As a mom myself, I am so picky when it comes to the environments and experiences I seek out for my own kids- the classes they go to, the teachers they learn from, etc.

So I know it's meaningful when parents send notes of appreciation, seeing the value and uniqueness of what RammDance offers.

YOU can set up a private lesson for your kiddo or your own small group class for your homeschool pod in a beautiful outdoor dance space in the East Bay! Send a DM or email info@rammdance.org to snag one of TWO remaining spots in the weekly schedule!!!

Mother-daughter Tunic transformation

From flowy silk to crinkled (pleated) for our upcoming performance coming up May 27/28th!

I grew up watching my mom (a Duncan dancer) do this crinkle-tunic dance. Whoever was at home was enlisted to help as it takes two people, so my dad was often involved and it was so funny to see him twirling under silk! 😂 But that’s what is needed to get the pleats nice and tight.

Hope this gives you both a giggle and an insight into the amazing world of silk 🌷

Check back to see the finished product, as they need a few days to dry in the ☀️

Sneak peak rehearsal clip for a new @rammdance piece I am choreographing/dancing in, premiering at the The 26th Annual Dionysian Festival at the end of May!

This modern dance piece for 5 women is rooted in classical, mythic, and archetypal movement of the Hero's journey.

Stay tuned for more...!

Imagine a children’s dance class with no mirrors, surrounded by trees…meeting a child’s imagination right where it’s at while gently pushing them to explore new ways to move🌟

There is space in Friday’s class for a few more dancers to join us!

New: We are partnered with Pacific Charter Institute to offer classes for homeschoolers!

Photo is from last years spring recital 🌷

When the mouse king has been slayed by the nutcracker and you’re carrying off his sword along with your own while the mice are mourning….this little solider can’t help his victory grin!

Throwback to a few months ago- a site-specific @rammdance Nutcracker performance at a woodsy castle estate took place back in early December! This is one performance we'll never forget!

Duérmete Mi Niño (excerpt)

Choreographed and performed by Courtney Ramm

I choreographed this solo to a lullaby I sing to my two young children. Only a parent can know that excruciating feeling when you just *need* your baby to fall asleep! That's what I felt in this dance, a lullaby that is dear to my heart ❤️

If we seek the real source of the dance, if we go to nature, we find that the dance of the future is the dance of the past, the dance of eternity, and has been and always will be the same... The movement of waves, of winds, of the earth is ever the same lasting harmony.
- Isadora Duncan

It’s raining nonstop here on Kauai and so why not swing it out Duncan style 😛

There is no substitute for the medicine of movement ☺️

Did you know that there is actually barre work in the Isadora Duncan technique?! It was developed by Isadora and her adopted daughter Irma in the early 1900s.

This is just one small portion and once you learn it all it’s kind of thrilling to run through the whole thing 😆
