Groove Ground: Dance & Connect

Through exercises from Modern Dance, Chi Gong, Yoga, and African Dance, we explore together how we can connect with ourselves and with others. Through these exercises, we will play, dance, and connect, both solo, in pairs, and with the entire group. All of this will be accompanied by delightful African music. No dance experience is needed. Fun is central. We ensure that you can also groove and play on the dance floor with this knowledge.
