Expressive Dance
Dance joyfully and expressively to great music (live drummer on Tuesday nights) as we connect the mind, body, and spirit with easy movements and repetitions inspired by Haitian dancer and choreographer Herns Duplan and 20th-century American choreographer and anthropologist Katherine Dunham. We’ll play with different energies, shifting from soft to powerful movements. Engage your body—and your voice if you feel like it—to be fully present, focused, and engaged in the moment as we celebrate our collective energy and the elements of nature. No experience necessary, just a willingness to just let go.
