AFRICAN DANCE WITH MÓNICA SÁNCHEZ

This workshop invites us to move the body with strength and awareness, to sweat, to vibrate collectively, and to connect with the rich cultural and ancestral heritage of African dance.  Mónica will teach Guinean Style, an intense, liberating, and profoundly energetic expression of West African dance.  Through rhythm, movement, and combined vitality, we will explore the power of the emotive body and the joy of dancing without judgment.  After warming up, we will learn the steps to the beat, practice movements through the space, and bring it together in group sequences.  We’ll free our inner fire, embody our authentic being, and dance by the sea to the rhythm of the drum.  All are welcome; no prior experience is needed, but spaces are limited, so please join the group soon if you feel called to move, feel, enjoy, and let your body speak.  Dancing barefoot is recommended, but sneakers are fine, too.
