Join us as we explore the beautiful tradition of Gratitude, a moving meditation that honors elements vital to our dance. Inspired by Indian Classical Dance, our class starts with gestures steeped in tradition and respect for the earth, our audience, mentors, ancestors, music, and more.
This practice fosters a sense of presence, grounding, and unity within our global dance family. Embrace this unique opportunity to connect with dance and express gratitude for the elements that enrich our lives.
