Workshop
Join master percussionist, musician, and healer PORANGUÍ as we create a circle of rhythm, sound, and movement! Rediscover the first and most complex instrument known to humankind: your self. Together we will explore where body percussion, voice, and Spirit meet in a polyrhythmic dance. By connecting with our body’s innate pulse and cultivating that expression in a safe & celebratory container, we unfold ourselves to emBody Dance, Sing our Soul and Play our Mind. No experience necessary…this is for ALL! Come and experience the playful and fun VIBE created by a circle of people grooving to collective rhythm!
