“I want to let you know how much I enjoyed your class!!! I have learned so much about letting go and moving the body in a way where the audience is unnecessary. ‘Dance like nobody is watching’ felt like a theme. And I truly appreciate the cost reduction, because I wouldn’t have been able to afford it without it. Thank you so much for letting me be a part of LEIMAY. I am optimistic about the future though, I would really like to take classes at LEIMAY when this pandemic ends.” – Sonia Nizam, LEIMAY LUDUS Community Class Participant, 2020

“1) LUDUS Community Class is a dance class open to all which focuses on movement from an experiential perspective through set exercises, imagery, and personal and group explorations. 2) one of the many things I took away from community class is the possibility of strength without effort. 3) this class is fun, challenging, physical, thought-provoking, and you should definitely give it a try.” – Erin Landers, LEIMAY LUDUS Community Class Participant, 2018

“I keep coming back to community classes and labs because I’m fascinated by the elements that make up LEIMAY’s practice. As someone who doesn’t have a performing background it’s wonderful to have a passage into such a singular and rich body of work. Ximena and company members create a warm and inclusive space in a way that feels both freeing and rigorous. Thank you LEIMAY!” – Michael Mangieri, LEIMAY LUDUS Community Class Participant, 2019

“The training with Ximena was great, I really enjoyed what I learned from the workshops that she gave us. I found it really interesting the way she thinks about the body in terms of how to feel it and how to use it. The exercises that she taught us, I’m sure I’ll use them from now on in my warm ups, because they were great.” – Sorin Prodea, LUDUS Participant, 2019
