The idea behind this practica:
We’d like to invite you to bring an intention to this space – something you’d like to work on. Whether developing fluidity in that butterfly boleo, or working on your walk…
I’d like you to come to practice and collaborate with your peers.
Who knows – you might have a way of explaining x move that the person next to you has been struggling with in such a way that helps it ‘click’ in their mind. And vice versa – they may have a gem or two to offer to you. Of course, if you want to dance, that is welcome, too
Every 1st and 4th Saturday of the month
3-6 pm
$10/ $5 with student ID card
It is air-conditioned, has plenty of parking, and is accessible by public transport.
