let go inhibition, let the body move and experience the joy. Wear loose
fitting clothes; no shoes (unless special dance shoes) in the studio; and
bring water. Dance Matters was inspired by and follows the tradition of
Dance for Joy. It also has roots within a peer group practice of Gabrielle
Roth's 5 Rhythms. Although structured, this event is not a workshop, just
an opportunity to dance for the joy of it with a group of people who dance because they love it. Please arrive on time and stay for
the duration of the wave.
