I-Opener Dance :: Western Mass :: "We Are ONE-sie"

"Friends that dance together are a special kind of family" Dance brings us together in shared experience... We welcome our differences, our full range of emotions, our hopes, our fears, our accomplishments, our creativities, and just being ourselves in our fullest expression. In this month of love... Let's celebrate our individualities and our connectedness as we come together to DANCE AS ONE-sies! 😍 Dress up as your favorite cozy creature and join us on the dance floor as DJs Luminus & Journey Weaver co-create a sweet morning journey for your playful expression... along with live drumming and the I-Opener Crew crafting a beautiful space for community connection 💜 Open your 👁s and get your monthly dose of bliss! ===== Event Info ===== 10:00 Arrival 10:15 Opening Circle & Guided Warmup 10:45 DJ'd Ecstatic Dance w/Luminus & Journey Weaver 12:25 Closing Circle You may participate in the dance or just enjoy witnessing.
