Seen & Heard: Dance classes for adults

ADULTS DANCE TOO
The “Me Time” columnist for The Times, Marisa Meltzer, reviews the Move dance classes run by former pro dancers held at the Chambers Street studios of Gibney dance. The class is taught roughly every other week and is only announced spontaneously via the teachers’ instagrams. But if you want more consistency in your life, come once a week to the adult jazz class run by local resident and Downtown Dance Factory’s own Hanne Larsen, Tuesdays at 9:30.

GET JUDGED – AND GET FREE STUFF – AT WF
In case you are not a regular reader of Progressive Grocer: Whole Foods (the Tribeca store only) will hold a “Better Beauty Swap” on March 30 where customers can exchange their current (inferior) beauty items for products that meet WF’s quality standards (judgy!). A bag of goodies worth $100 goes to the first 200 customers to bring in one empty beauty or body care product container between 8 and 9a.

R & Company is hosting a solo exhibition of South Korean designer Bae Se Hwa on the lower level of the 64 White Street gallery. These are from the “Steam Bent” series and because they take so long to build, he only produces three to five pieces a year. Many of the works included in the exhibit have not been shown publicly before and in some cases the editions are nearly sold out.

HUBERT ON HUBERT
In honor of spring, I am running this guy — spotted and snapped by E. on March 2, one of the city’s only snowy days of the season. In the climate-change-is-real department, the city’s snowfall this year hit an all-time low. Since 1869, the city has had only nine years with no measurable snowfall from mid-November through mid-January.
