ENG Sunday afternoon in Milan, what’s the plan? Let’s recharge our batteries to get ready for a brand new week. Leave behind what’s past, take the best from it, and turn it into **pure energy** for this Sunday practice. Music will be the base of our body's movement and expression: the rythm will guide our steps and canalise our energies and emotions into something very creative and powerful. Bring a **sports towel** and **sport clothes and sneakers**. (there are changing rooms if you need them!) Don’t forget **water** to rehydrate — and your desire to recharge! NEW LOCATION: Campo Teatrale \| Snodo Creativo a Milano \(A few metro stops after Loreto\) ***Suuuuper important: Please try to arrive in time! As once the class starts, it's difficult to come receive you!*** And after the event, the sweetest part: let's choose a bar and have some drinks together to get the full Milanese experience with a typical Aperitivo! (not included in the participation fee) ITA Domenica pomeriggio a Milano, qual è il piano? Ricarichiamo un po' le batterie per prepararci al meglio a una nuova settimana. Lasciamo ciò che è stato della settimana scorsa alle spalle, prendiamone il buono e trasformiamolo in **energia pura** per questa pratica della domenica. La musica sarà la base del movimento e dell'espressione del nostro corpo: lasceremo che sia il ritmo a guidare i nostri passi e a canalizzare le nostre energie ed emozioni in un momento di grande creatività e libertà espressiva Porta il tuo **asciugamano da sport** e **acqua** per reidratarti, **abbigliamento e scarpe sportivi** (ci sono gli spogliatoi, se devi cambiarti!) e... voglia di ricaricare le batterie! NUOVA LOCATION: Campo Teatrale \| Snodo Creativo a Milano \(qualche fermata metro dopo Loreto\) ***Suuuuper importante: cerca di arrivare in orario, perchè una volta che inizia la lezione, non sentiamo più il citofono (e non c'è nessuno in reception per accoglierti)*** E dopo l'esercizio, la parte più dolce: non è la full experience Milanese se non c'è un Aperitivo di mezzo! (non incluso nella quota di partecipazione)

Γεια σας φίλοι! I started this group with a selfish aim - to find Greek speakers to help me practice having conversatiosn in Greek. But, held back by lack of confidence in my speaking abilities, I've put off actually scheduling a meet up. I just don't know that my skills are strong enough to carry a meeting. But what the heck, let's just try this and see how it goes. So, let's meet up and speak as much Greek as we can. For this first meet up, let's just keep it loose and casual. Plan to introduce yourself in Greek and ask a few basic, get-to-know-you type questions. Please, don't be intimidated if you think your Greek isn't advanced enough. My goal is for all partcipants to help each other. Let's chat and not be afraid to make mistakes.

Bonsoir à tous! Venez nombreux pour causer autour d'un repas ou d'un verre chez La Madeleine. On n'a que deux règles: (1) qu'on y parle exclusivement le français et (2) qu'on achète quelque chose à boire ou à manger (c'est La Madeleine qui le demande). Merci et à bientôt!
