"Dance Upon a City" is the outdoor edition of "Dance Upon a Time", a weekly early morning dance party & playful movement class. (You can book your ticket for the 22nd of April (Wednesday) here: https://hdfst.uk/e151954)

We will be dancing in public spaces on a Sunday morning each month.
- Which Sunday morning? The 12th of April from 11am but:
- It depends on the weather. (Not the forecast. 10% rain can mean: no rain, storm, sun and everything in between. Check this page/your inbox on the 12th by 9am for a live update.)

- What public spaces?
- Carefully selected for least interference with public life (This is not a street performance.)

We will be completing a "dance route" that consists of four stops in the St Anne's area (BS4, Brislington).

Meeting point: Wyatts View, BS4 4WW, Car park of Co-op, near the bicycle racks

What to expect:
- guided warm-up (daoist work-out = lymphatic drainage + digestion)
- walking in a weird way (your choice/get inspired by others = neuroplasticity)
- holding postures (select your own pose or follow along = posture + strengthening)
- dancing to your favourite tunes (bring your headphones + prepare a playlist of 5 to 8 songs/tracks > any genre, any move = dancing people are never wrong)
- playful exercises ( site specific and time based concepts, no performing skills required)
- rolling, rotating & unplanned movements on grass ( neuroplasticity)
- kung-fu ( kidding)

About me:
Dori Jo (@dori___jo) is a trained mime performer and a martial art enthusiast. Drawing on her experience from facilitating "Slow Cycling Bike Rides" across Bristol and hosting "Hush City - What do you do when you do you?", an offline co-relaxing/co-unproductive space at the Arts Mansion, she is now facilitating morning raves with guided warm-ups across Bristol.

About the class:
The class is particularly beneficial for individuals with ADHD and for people whose nervous system is stuck in Freeze mode as a result of C-PTSD a.k.a. a shit childhood.

The goal of the class is to flood your system with Serotonin, make you chuckle, swell your heart... make being alive feel great again.

Note: Good fitness level required.

Are you a morning bird? Nor am I. I hope to meet fellow morning "grumps".

See you on the 12th of April at 11am, (b)raver.
