Event Details
This free workshop offers information on how stress as well as our daily movements (including dancing!) affect our physical bodies, how to work wisely to prevent the accumulation of tension and tightness in our tissues, and how to help when that accumulation leads to pain and restriction in range of motion.
Darren Weatherbie is a manual Osteopath who specializes in a unique and relatively new soft tissue technique called NeuroFascial Reset (N.F.R.). N.F.R. is movement-based and focuses on the central nervous system to achieve the release of tension, restricted mobility, and function in muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, and nerves. Darren describes his treatments as “taking the velcro out of muscles because any velcro stops muscles from becoming long and strong. NeuroFascial Reset is the style of treatment that the athletic community and performers have been missing out on for many years.”

Tonight’s taster lesson is in Partner Hustle with Laura and Rod. This is NOT the 70s line dance! It’s a lovely, light, fun partner dance appropriate to many music styles, including much of today’s pop (as well as all those good oldies). After the mini lesson the social dance will continue with music in multiple disciplines/styles of dance. (We love the video of this couple dancing by the pool. Ah, summer…)
Dance only is $6, Dance plus mini-lesson is $10. A great introduction to dance!
