Description

Salsa Dance Workshop and Taco Bar Social, learn the basics with and without a partner! Enjoy a great local meal. Do you want to move that body - but you're not sure if you know how, or if your injuries will allow it? This workshop, taught by a USMC veteran, David Murcio, will adapt and guide you, and you'll be dancing in no time to your comfort level! (he personally understands injuries and limitations from his time in service) You do NOT need to come with a partner. You may come solo, as a group or a couple. You will be switching partners throughout the night during the lessons. Dress comfortably or dress to impress. Leather soled shoes, not rubber soled are the best for movement and to protect your knee joints. After the lessons (~5:30pm), the music will jam, dancing will continue for those with the energy, and we will serve up the food and refreshments. We may even have a surprise musician in person this month! Did you know this event will promote emotional, social, cognitive, and physical integration. It's a great way to distract ourselves within a safe environment. It provides opportunity for memory recall, as well as reduce stress and depression. "An important goal of our recreational dance therapy program includes replacing the feeling of pain, distress, illness, injury, disinterest, inactivity or anxiety and the experience of combat or an inconceivable event with happiness, optimism, a peace of mind, hope and purpose." - David Murcio of Warriors Beyond War.
