This allows participants to deepen their relationship with their bodies and cultivate a profound appreciation for their whole selves. No dance experience is needed. Learn more at penastephanie.com
    THE MOVE – Weekly Movement Club by OUTSIDERS
    NYC has no shortage of run clubs. So we thought — let’s do something different. THE MOVE is our new weekly movement club designed to get the community together every Tuesday for something active, social, and just plain fun. Each week features a new partner, a new activity, and a new way to move — from workouts and training sessions to runs with a delicious twist.
    Always free with registration. Always good fun. Always community first.
    Each week is hosted by OUTSIDERS founder Jeremy Asgari and the OUTSIDERS team, bringing the same energy you know and love from our adventures to this new weekly series.
    Do not sign up for this if you might not be able to attend. If you need to cancel, please let us know 72 hours before the event. If you do not inform us, you will not be able to attend future THE MOVE events!
