Workshop
Kindness to Ourselves through Movement and Dance
We probably danced before we talked. Moving our bodies is part of being kind to ourselves and brings us in contact with others and with our environment. Dance gives us the freedom to move and become more joyfully empowered. In this Dance Event you are invited to participate in three very different styles of dance. We will start with the luxurious curves and fluid moves of the Middle East, progress to connecting with the power and earthiness of Africa and finish with the calm and meditative moves of the Circle Dance, a form of dance that stretches across continents and cultures, and connects us both to our inner selves and to the world around us.
