"SLOW it down" workshop
Presented by Leona
Sunday, April 22, 12pm - 2pm
Eastside Fitness, 5854 Fraser St., Vancouver

Dancing is always so much fun but it is hard to sometimes slow down our movement especially when we are nervous. Leona will take you through drills and exercises to help you slow down your movements then add either more tension or softness to your style. As well she will incorporate technique to help you feel more relaxed when dancing. For info and registration please contact Leona at www.leonabellydance.com.
