In honour of Joy as Resistance, we are hosting an African dance class and exchange. Dance is a somatic expression of emotion and we will be using it to focus on joyful expression. Our dance instructor will teach a variety of African dance movements. This will also feature the opportunity for our participants to lead in teaching a dance movement that brings them joy that will be incorporated in thefinal dance set. Art + Health will be speaking on the mind body connection and the impact of dance as somatic therapy. 

We will dine together in shared platters of injera (Ethiopian cuisine) by 13 Suns Vegan, a new Black owned restaurant owned by a young community leader. Following dinner, the space will facilitate community, dance, and belonging.
