Participants are guided to listen to and sense their bodies and give expression to their own individual movements, to dance the dance that only they can dance. A great variety of music and rhythms will inspire slow and internal dances as well as wild and exuberant ones. Doing this together creates community, an opportunity to commune with self and with each other – getting to know yourself a bit better and having fun along the way. Come play! No experience necessary, every 'body' is welcome.
