Self-Care Through Dance
Self-care can through dance is a wonderful method of self-expression, empowerment, a way to connect with your mind and body, reclaim space, and even build confidence. For many trauma survivors, dance can also be about letting out feelings and energies. Join the OSVRSE and performer Zoe Dalakas on November 17 from 6-7:30 p.m. for a new, fun and active way to engage in self-care by learning a simple burlesque routine via zoom. This class is free and open to all folx (no previous experience required).
Outline of event: Introduction, warm up, learn choreography, go through dance movements a few times, cool-down and check in at the end. *There will also be time at the end for participants to run-through the full routine and film yourself (on your own phone/device) if you want to. No other participants will be recorded!

What to wear: anything you feel comfortable in and that makes you feel good. Preferably something you can move in, dance clothes/costumes are welcome!
