This Wellness Through Dance class is offered in collaboration with JSDDance Co. directed by Haitian-Worcester based international performing artist Sebastien Duvilaire. As the founder of the AfrikAyiti project, Sebastien is dedicated to bridging Africa to the Americas through the performing arts with clear intention of promoting a better world for all. In this class, Haitian dance serves as the root technique through which we explore African wisdoms for wellness. We approach wellness as holistic: dancing to live music, connecting with community, and tuning into our own bodies and emotions. Together, we find ways to follow the rhythm of the music while also expressing ourselves freely through proposed movement vocabulary. This class is for all ages !
