In celebration of the joy & freedom of summer, it's time to let the rhythm move you in this upbeat and energizing movement workshop designed to help you re-connect to the dancer within and that which connects us all.

*Advanced ticket purchase required here*

Led by Women of Culture Founder, Alexandra Harper, this 60-minute intuitive movement workshop and dance party is all about using dance as a way to tap into a sense of play and cultivate joy and inter-connectedness.

It's all about letting go of any pre-conceived ideas about what dance should be or look like and finding the movement that feels right for you and your body, giving yourself permission to move, without expectation or judgment. It is an invitation to listen to the music and to your body, letting them (rather than your mind) lead the way — in celebration of summer, freedom, and life in general!

The workshop is geared toward woman-identifying movers, but all genders and first-timers are welcome. No dance training is necessary and no judgment is allowed!

Art-full members may also join us afterward for our July Culture & Cocktails in the sky at the Hide Rooftop at 8:30pm! Full Details:

6:45pm | Arrival for 7pm workshop 📍 Gibney Dance Center, studio X | 280 Broadway (53A Chambers St)

8:30pm | Optional cocktails & culture in the sky 📍the Hide Rooftop | 24 John St, 20th Floor

🧘🏽‍♂️ The evening will start with some grounding exercises to get out of your head and into your body. You will be led through some basic warm-ups and stretches, as well as a few very basic steps that can be adapted to your body and style as the evening progresses.

💃🏻 You won’t have to learn any specific choreography but instead, you will be invited to dance freely to a curated playlist with verbal cues for healing and release

💗 Please wear comfortable clothing, including sneakers (layers recommended). There are bathrooms and showers if desired (you will likely work up some sweat :).

✍️There will also be time for (optional) sharing and reflection in order to better integrate the experience and connect with the others in attendance.
