~ GLOW ~ I-Opener Dance NYC - May Blooming

"Just imagine becoming the way you used to be as a very young child, before you understood the meaning of any word, before opinions took over your mind. The real you is loving, joyful, and free. The real you is just like a flower, just like the wind, just like the ocean, just like the sun.” Don Miguel Ruiz Let the music inspire and connect you to the seeds of possibility within you. Invite the dance to shake up your energy and give new life to that which wants to unfold and express itself.
