Join us this November for a transformative Water Dance session at our Liquidanza Contact Jam, centered on the principle of fluidity. This month’s theme invites us to explore how water’s adaptability and flow can deepen our own fluidity in movement, emotions, and connections.

Come and explore new movement possibilities and join us in an inspiring journey of flow, connection, and transformation.
