Are we having fun yet? Sarcastic remark used to let somebody know that their promises of fun haven't materialized, and that if this is their idea of fun, then they have a very twisted concept of what "fun" is.

------ Urban Dictionary

When you start recognizing that you're having fun, life can be delightful.

Dance movement is a therapeutic form of exercise which is great not only for physical health but also mental and emotional health. Music itself can be very powerful. It can affect our moods and our state of well-being by triggering memories and other emotional experiences. When dance or any movement is set to music it can create a stress relieving, joyful and sometimes healing moment for those involved as well as increasing/releasing endorphins in the brain.

Please join us for the dance movement therapy workshop in Cupertino, where we will explore different attributes of the emotional and physical well-being through set of the creative and fun exercises, mixed with the intervals, filled with free-form dancing.

Main benefits you may expect:

- Getting a good ability to express suppressed emotions

- Establishing a positive and rejuvenating connection with your body

- Improving general physical fitness and gross motor skills development

- Processing internal negative beliefs, improving confidence and self-esteem

- Encourages creativity and imagination

- Connecting others people on emotional level

- Creating a positive life outlook, addressing stressful life events and depressive episodes

Important notes:

- No partner or previous dancing experience necessary.

- Please try to be on time, as it is easier to “catch a wave” if you are present from the class beginning.

- Clothing: anything that would let you move freely.

- Shoes: dancing bare-feet is the best, but you can also use soft flat shoes. Please no outdoor shoes on the floor.

- There is plenty of parking near the studio. Follow the GPS guidance, however as soon as you turn to the parking lot from Bandley Drive, you need to drive around the building to find the Li's Wushu Academy Entrance at the back. There are no entrances from the front or sides of the building.

Workshop is led by Tanya Pekker, LMFT, and Michael Pekker

Cost: Recommended donation $15 (cash, at the door).
