in solitude and in community. It allows us to be present as a whole being; simultaneously active and creative. Through
a variety of movement, improvisation and expressive arts activities, you’ll focus on integrating physical, emotional, cognitive, spiritual and social well-being. No prior dance experience is needed as there
is no “wrong” way to move.
