I-Opener Virtual Ecstatic Dance: *CELEBRATION*

"We Were Together. I Forget the Rest. " ~ Walt Whitman ✨I-Opener Dance✨ is celebrating 5 YEAR ANNIVERSARY this week. Hard to believe that it was 5 years ago, exactly on Valentine's Day, when we first gathered for a morning dance journey. To put some sparkle on our special day we asked Chandra Cantor to lead a Yoga warm-up ( just like she did 5 years ago). Our morning will start with live music of Stephen Katz, an award winning cellist and composer. We hope that you can celebrate with us. Followed by festive live DJ beats with Luminus & Journey Weaver. Share, invite your family and friends that you want to dance with. Open your 👁️ s, and get your weekly dose of bliss! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - REGISTRATIONS, LINKS, & AUDIO at www.iopenerdance.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - You will be emailed the link & password 30 min before the dance event.
