The will be a variety of dance improv activities and games to encourage moving in new ways. Each class will focus on a couple of dance concepts (e.g. shape, time, space, consent, flow, focus).
Dance for Wellbeing
Thursdays 7:30-9pm, November 7, 14 & 21
There are a lot of intense things happening on this planet, and sometimes November – with winter approaching – can be a rough month for people locally. Each dance class will include: movement activities for self-care and connecting with personal sources of strength, creative dance games for fun, and crayons & art supplies available for (optional) doodling or writing after dancing.
Workshops:

This workshop is for people who are new to dance improvisation, who think they “can’t” dance, or who feel ‘awkward’/’rusty’/’shy’ about dancing in front of anyone. The focus is on accepting and celebrating our unique selves and ways of moving. (Full description). FREE.
*FULL* Dance Games Night! Sept. 19
There will be a whole bunch of creative movement games, and we’ll take turns picking the next game from a basket. (Full description). FREE.
