A Joyous Dance takes place this Friday, Nov. 20, from 7-9 p.m. at the Dharma Center in Garberville. Warm up from 7-8 p.m. with Contact Improvisation excercises (to explore our connections with ourselves, the environment, and our dance partners). We will play with our relationship to gravity, weight, momentum, and inertia, using movement as a meditation on the present moment. After warming up with these exercises, we will continue with a freestyle dance to uplifting eclectic music. Donation: $10. Call 223-5730 or 223-6274 for more information.
