World Fusion Dance Group

Second Sundays

3:00-4:30pm

$10 for adults
kids are FREE!

World Fusion Dance is a program developed by a team of Circle Toward Wholeness facilitators interested in body and sound awareness.  Our bodies’ sensory systems are continually on, often outside our awareness. During this monthly workshop, we’ll take some time to become more aware of the effects sound have on our mind-body-spirit by listening to a large variety of world music.  We’ll also explore our own body movement.

No previous dance experience is necessary – we are all great dancers in the spirit of this class!

The class will begin with gentle Chi Gung movements to stretch muscles. The first half of the program will include guidance in a variety of movements borrowed from samba, afro-Brazilian dance, belly dance, prana flow, and even the audition scene from Flash Dance. Building on this foundation, the second half of the class will be a free-dance period in which participants can create their own arrangements using the forms explored. During this time the instructor will continue to guide choreographed moves for those who desire more structure and practice.  Movement will conclude with a period focused on integrating the experience by dancing in the spirit of stillness.
