It’s important to note that this is a weekend for dancers and non-dancers alike. Stretch, explore and find your balance in the Yoga and Cool-Moves classes. Learn the fundamentals of Samba and an entire choreography based on this sensual dance style! Explore the beauty of movement in the Hip Brazil Contemporary Workshop.
