Gotta get footloose
Dance: Dancing isn't necessarily something one does for pleasure. It can also be a therapeutic process that heals not just the body, but the mind as well. Want to find out how? Join an instructor from Shiamak Davar's dance academy, who will explore the intersection between yoga and dance. The idea is to free the mind, body and spirit from materal troubles, with dancing as the medium to achieve that end.
