Reducing Neck and Shoulder Tension

$25/Workshop
Holding habitual tension in the neck and shoulders is a fact of modern life and greatly impedes our daily activities. Participants in this workshop will learn specific movement sequences to recognize habitual tendencies as well as shift inefficient movement patterns into easy, fluid movement. By focusing your attention on differentiating and integrating the movements of the shoulder girdle with the neck and head, you will experience greater ease, articulation and comfort. Props required.

Each social dance series will start with an introduction to the dance style and will work on building patterns and lead/follow skills throughout the lessons. You can join at any time, however, we do recommend you register for an entire series to gain the most from the class. This will give you the choreography, practice time and confidence needed to dance socially.
