Workshop Description
Shake, shimmy and groove to the soulful rhythms of Africa. Free your spirit and be uplifted as you are guided through a warm up, learn some fun expansive choreography with the fire element and an interactive rhythmic dance game, and put it together with the music for a high energy experience, followed by a deep stretch and guided relaxation. With live drumming by KraKoToKra. Let's fly together and then melt into softness coming back to self and grounding into the earth.
Workshop Description
This is an opportunity to deepen into some water dance movements and do Afro dance in a mellow, gentle context, listening to your body and finding the flow, exploring keeping your body relaxed and bouyant throughout the dances. There will be some moments of fire in the water, with a focus throughout on conscious relaxed movement and fluid embodiment. Let's move and flow together!
