Breathe. Dance. Harmonize: A Latin Fusion Workshop

Let's dance! Start the new season with movement, rhythm and community in this introductory 90-minute workshop. Combining elements of dance, fitness and mindfulness all in one class, this class welcomes all levels to experience the transformative joy of movement while also building aerobic capacity. Featuring rhythms from Puerto Rico to Africa, this workshop begins with intention setting and a gentle warm-up and then moves on to explore the basic movements of merengue, salsa and bachata through simple footwork and choreography. Closing in community, the workshop ends as it begins as we circle back to mindfulness and some final stretches, leaving your body and mind in harmony, peace and happiness.
Teaching Artist: Becky Bearse, Founder of beBE dance, based outside Boston, MA.
