San Francisco Floor Rockers Groove and Flow
Fri, Oct 16, 4:30 AMWe are hosting another session of San Francisco Floor Rockers Groove and Flow, and we would love for you to join us. This is a space for the Floor Rockers Social Dance Collective to get together, work on movement, and explore the space between floorwork and flow. Whether you have been practicing for years or are just starting to get comfortable moving on the ground, this is a low-pressure environment to share ideas, refine your technique, and move with others in the community. The focus here is on open practice and collaborative movement. We usually start with a gentle warmup to get the joints loose before moving into open floor time where we can exchange tips, experiment with transitions, or just find a rhythm. It is a great way to stay active, get out of your head, and connect with people who share a love for dance. Please bring comfortable clothes that allow for a full range of motion and a water bottle. If you are planning to head over, please go ahead and RSVP so we can get an idea of the numbers for the room. Hope to see you there.
