Workshop: Dance as an Embodiment Practice
Dance as an Embodiment Practice explores how non-performative dance can serve as a means to deepen our awareness of internal sensations, emotions, and a sense of presence to the extent that participants (a) gain personal insights that support their emotional well-being and/or (b) expand their capacity for embodied connection with their own bodies.
November 1, 3-5pm

Join us for a casual drop-in to discuss classroom management strategies or any other areas of need you may have as a drama and/or dance teacher.
