We explore how our bodies move, motice what feels possible, and find different ways of responding to music and movement. There is no pressure to perform or keep up, and no choreography to remember.
No dance experience is needed. The class welcome different abilities and energy levels; whether you are active, returning to movement after a break, or simply curious to try something different.
Who is facilitating:
I am Yi Qing, a dance practitioner with a background in dance science and experience working with a wide range of participants, including older adults. My work is shaped by an ongoing interest in how movement can support the body and mind, bringing a thoughtful, responsive approach to each session.
