This workshop is open to anyone who wants to explore their body through movement, joy and dance. Participants will be guided through some improvisational tasks to warm up and get to know our moving body, followed by some simple strength and flexibility exercises to feel our body strong and powerful. To finish, we’ll mix up some exercises to construct simple dance phrases to challenge coordination, memory and rhythm. For an hour and a half, we’ll be giving space to our intuitive, dynamic, sensitive and expressive body, having our mind and body working together to seek joy and pleasure while moving through space.
