What to expect in classes:

*Drumming & salutations

*Dance sequences and disciplined responses to popular music & cultural connections.

*Energy focuses with body awareness & positive realm connection, positive psychology & group connection are a big part of the dance-tribe. Erin brings 2 core respects forward for participants – confidence and capacity to ignite the flame, furthered by happiness in the personality that person-centred dance-practice brings. Fusion elements & bellydance attributes are a recognizable feature but not a foundation of restricted belief in dance expression.

What to bring:

*Water bottle, dance shoes of choice (for vinyl floor) or barefoot at best.

*Wear yoga pants, cotton-leggings, no jeans – hip wrap is optional.

Body comfort in casual clothes & relaxed gorgeousness isn't a Diva-pose necessity. No mirror- environment, circle centric attitude, more self-honesty.
