monthly sessions in Glasgow, workshops, and retreats at Dhanakosa
Glasgow
I hold a monthly Open Floor session in Glasgow on a Saturday early evening - the 4th Saturday of each month.
It’s a warm and friendly group of folk with mixed experience of movement and conscious dance practice.
There are chairs to sit and move on during the session, so please feel welcome whatever your energy levels or mobility.

Venue: Top floor studio, 72 Berkeley Street, G3 7DS (press buzzer marked STMTS). The front access has steps, there is ramp access to the rear of building and a lift, let me know in advance if you’d prefer the ramp access so I can make sure the rear door is open.
