Contemplative Groove

Kurs with Victoria McConnell

A weekly happening where all movers can join. No matter what your background, whether you dance in clubs or don’t dance, do belly dance or ballet, all are welcome in this Movement Experience. Flowing through space and finding a groove are as important here as deep breathing, calming the mind, and making space in the body. This class is created and offered as a place for anyone who is curious to move, who likes to breathe, to dance up a sweat; for those wanting to ground the mind in the body and to embody spaciousness. In Contemplative Groove, Victoria brings together her training and experiences in contemporary dance, yoga, guided exploration, and meditative practices to offer a 75 guided movement class.
