You'll move to the rhythm of your body, connecting with how you feel like moving in the moment. We'll explore varying levels of connection with others, including a softening that can enrich any form of dance. All abilities and body types are welcome.

It brought together some wonderful people, and I feel like we grew as dancers. It went very smoothly.
