With Thanksgiving approaching, join the Women of Culture community to give thanks for the joy of movement in this fun and judgment-free workshop all about letting the music move you!

About

Led by avid mover and dance-lover, Alexandra Harper, this 75-minute movement experience and dance party is all about celebrating the ability to move and using dance as a way to cultivate peace and gratitude in advance of the hectic and sometimes stressful holiday season. It's an opportunity to fall (back) in love with the simple pleasure of letting movement pass through you, without expectation or judgment.

It's all about transforming and releasing any stress, tension, or negative feelings and giving yourself permission to move. It is an invitation to listen to the music and to your body, letting them (rather than your mind) lead the way — in celebration of simple pleasures in life!

This will be a great opportunity to (re)discover the pure & simple joy of movement while (re)connecting to yourself and the community in a safe and welcoming environment.

The workshop is geared toward female-identifying movers, but all genders and first-timers are welcome. No dance training is necessary and no judgment is allowed!

Plus, the option to join us afterward for our Friendsgiving dinner at the beautiful Parlour Roomafterward!
