Alternatively to face to face dancing - you can be provided with a link to watch on YouTube or Vimeo and learn at home or with a bunch of friends. The link will be available in early November and then you can rock up to Sunday 20th Nov with your dancing feet and help us to include the audience in our dance.
Workshop Performance date: Sunday 20th November 10am -12pm at Federation Square
This is a chance for us women (or any gender) to come together and celebrate who we are as women - to free up our bodies with safe and simple dance instruction and connect to each other through the ancient and wise practice of traditional and contemporary music and dance.

Mzuri Dance ArtisTree creative practice and work impacts upon lands and waters over which a number of First Nations’ Traditional Owner and language groups hold custodianship. We acknowledge and pay our respect to their Elders past and present for allowing us to conduct this business on their Countries.
The land we live and create on was never ceded and will always belong to the traditional custodians of the land. I pay my respects to the custodians of this land who lived sustainably and looked after the birds, insects, animals, waterways and land, life, earth and her natural resources. We live on Wurundjeri Country of the Kulin Nation and pay my respects to elders past and present.
