Come as your authentic self and feel free to show up however you need to find fulfillment in this community space. Remember you don't need to know how to "dance". It's about moving in a way that feels good to you. We try to get out of our heads and into our bodies and hearts through movement to music. There's no doing it wrong.
There will be opening and closing circle, ecstatic dance and tea space. The dance's theme will be on the flow of giving and receiving. Michele is hosting and providing the set!
All ages welcome!!! Kids are welcome on the dance floor, the downstairs play area or on the playground out back. (Just make sure your kids are supervised and being respectful to the space, also parents please remember to help clean up the kid area after dance)
