Dance Nova Scotia Presents Dance Class with a Difference for Men and Boys

Our friends at Dance Nova Scotia are presenting a dance class for men and boys regardless of experience. But it might not be what you’d expect.

BrainDance (Brain Compatible Dance Education), a set of eight developmental movements, forms the basis of the session. These techniques are beneficial for the central nervous system. Practitioners can experience improved mood, reduced stress and increased concentration.

The session will be led by Vincent E. Thomas, dancer, choreographer and teacher, who holds an MFA in Dance from Florida State University and is a research fellow at Jacob’s Pillow in Beckett, Massachussets.

The class takes place Tuesday, May 8 from 5:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m., St. George’s Parish Hall 2222 Brunswick St. Halifax

Suggested Donation: $5
