Integrated Dance training with Rhona Coughlan

We welcome dance artists with and without disabilities to come together to celebrate their own unique dance bodies. It’s a celebration of uniqueness, individuality, and being your authentic self through dance. We will work in a relaxed environment to learn new skills, adapt dance techniques to our own bodies, exchange ideas, and dance together. This workshop will both develop the practice of each individual while also fostering a creative, supportive inclusive dance environment.
