WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:
We have all struggled with body image at some point in our life. This workshop will teach you how to love yourself and empower your inner Goddess through dance. You will learn how to love yourself, let go of your FEAR and embrace your power in order to breakthrough and be truly divine on stage. One of Colleen’s goals in life is to promote Body Love and Body Positivity through dance. At any level in your journey, it is important to take the time to reflect on your dance, and ask "Why do I do this?". This workshop will help you answer that question in your individual way. Please bring veils, tissues, note-taking material and an open mind.
