Workshops for the 2009 Cruise

Workshop 1: Ecstatic Dance/5Rhythms™
Accompanied by heartfelt and inspiring music, these Ecstatic Dance/5Rhythms classes are a wonderful workout for body, mind and soul. In these lightly structured classes, participants will move through the Rhythms of Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical and Stillness in an environment of safety and playfulness, with a "hint" of the depth underlying this form of dance movement. No one is too old, too young, too big, too small, too inexperienced or too experienced to enjoy this free, expressive, fun way of moving! Please wear comfortable clothing.

Workshop 2: Dance Awake
Gently dance yourself awake in this morning movement class. Moving through the body from the head to the toes, we'll stretch, flow, loosen, and soften ourselves through free-form movement. Accompanied by inspiring music, and free of any dance techniques, we will allow the body to awaken to the day ahead while dancing outside on a "moving" deck. Everyone has a hidden dancer within, and this class will allow that dancer to come out and have a good time. Designed to accommodate all bodies no matter what "shape" they are in, all are welcome. What a wonderful way to start your Taste of Health day!
