Programme
Programme maybe subject to change.
This Valentine’s Edition will be a special workshop dedicated to exploring listening and communication with your dance partner — building trust, sharing, support, and sensitivity through movement.
It’s the perfect time to bring someone you care about — a partner, a friend, or a family member — and explore connection through dance. You don’t need to come as a pair to join; individual participants are equally welcome. We’ll work in pairs and groups, discovering how dance can build understanding, support, and shared joy and love in the grand sense.
