“Dance to free yourself from what was and flow into what can be” ~ Y. Li I-Opener Dance is once again excited to collaborate with Earthdance, along with Dance New England, for a New Year's celebration!! We continue blending our dance communities and helping to raise funds for this wonderful organization and retreat center. Earthdance hosts year round workshops, artist residencies, and community programming in the hills of Western Massachusetts. We are honored to be a part of their traditional Winter Contact Improvisation Retreat, stretching across the threshold from one year to the next and connecting communities through dance from around the world!! ✨ Join us this time as we celebrate the first I-Opener of 2021 ✨ We welcome your presence from wherever you may be... from your home, together in small safe "dance pods", and out where you find yourself ... enjoy an infusion movement magic!! Beginning with an opening circle and a warmup facilitator Neva Cockrell, then flowing into live DJ'd beats with Luminus & Journey Weaver, and close with a community sing. Open your 👁s, dance with friends, and get your weekly dose of bliss! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - REGISTRATIONS, LINKS, & AUDIO at www.iopenerdance.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ❇️ Event Info: 10:00 Arrival & Centering 10:05 Opening Circle & Warmup w/ Neva Cockrell 10:30 DJ'd Dance w/ Luminus & Journey Weaver 12:00 Closing Connections 💟 Suggested Contribution: $8 - $15 ... and possibly more: this week is a fundraiser for Earthdance that has been struggling through the pandemic times.
