Secret Garden Studio – Old Town Lafayette
Wednesday, March 19th, 6-7:30 pm. $40.

All queer teens are welcome at this movement class, a safe place for young people to move, learn about, and celebrate their bodies. I will tailor the class to the interests of who shows up, but topics will include tap, ballet, contemporary, improv, stretching/strengthening, mindfulness, yoga, and self-defense. Leave feeling stronger, more powerful, more capable, more knowledgeable about your body, and absolutely glorious about who you are! Every Tuesday from 7-8 pm at the Secret Garden Studio.

A safe space for female-identifying people to move together, to strengthen our bodies, to stretch into our emotions, to increase our body awareness, and to enjoy the community of other women. It’s a stretching and strengthening class, but it’s also a rebellion – from the idea that growing older necessarily means “letting your body go”, from the idea that feminine is weak, from the idea that other people control our bodies. FREE, every Monday night from 7-8 pm at the Secret Garden Studio.
