ANNIE PARR
GUEST WORKSHOP
We’re honored to welcome Annie Parr to Studio KINA for a special two-day workshop.
Known for her lifelong devotion to movement, community, and creative expression, Annie Parr is a choreographer, teacher, and retreat host who makes space for people to come alive in their bodies.
Trained at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, she went on to perform, teach, and eventually found RoCo Dance in Marin County, CA—an award-winning performing arts center she led for three decades.
In 2022, Annie built El Campo in Pescadero, Mexico: a retreat and creative haven overlooking the Pacific where artists, movers, and seekers gather to rest, reset, and reconnect. It’s also home to her signature practice, The FIELD, which blends post-modern dance, yoga, authentic movement, body-mind centering, and choreography into something that feels equal parts grounding and electric.
These days, Annie splits her time between Baja and New York, teaching workshops, leading retreats, and reminding us all that movement isn’t just something we do, it’s who we are.
Come experience Annie's unique approach to movement, for any body.

SHIFT is a musically inspired, non-choreography movement lab. Annie offers prompts and suggestions to explore sensation, receptivity, transitions and texture. The class is to unlock stale movement habits to arrive into fresh pathways. The hour is driven by music, energy and tone. No class is the same because Annie guides intuitively. There is no learned choreography. Each song inspires a different place in the body. These places include the many dualities of physicality: quiet movement meditations, small articulate dances, big expressive range, locomotion/stillness, effort and release, grace and abandon, angles and curves. Find your motion potential. Flow, de-tox, tune-in and play.
CONTACT+PARTNERING Annie’s background in postmodern dance informs the format of her contact/partnering exercises and teachings. Students learn the principles of giving/receiving weight, leading/following, listening with your body and spacial awareness. Learning to connect with other bodies in motion deepens ones ability to connect more deeply to their own body. The class setting is playful and with reverence to safety.
MDRNYGA is a dynamic mat-less class bridging vinyasa flow yoga, mind-body fitness modalities and floor based modern dance principles. Paced to a playlist ranging from classical to alternative, the sequences are artful movement patterns to stretch, tone and ground the body. All of the sequences are choreographed and clearly guided similar to a yoga class but with the personality of a dance class. Dancer or not, yogi or not, this is not a traditional dance or yoga class. It is for the athletic and artful minded individual that is looking to creatively expand their practice. This class will open up ones approach to transitions, musicality and flow. Ultimately, MDRNYGA enables a strong, and efficient body, stimulating grace and fun through motion to connect to your mind to your body.
