Dancing is one of the best things you can do for your mental health! Dork Dancing is a free dance movement and mental health advocacy campaign where activism and celebration meet for a happier and healthier world. There is no right or wrong way to dork dance. The idea is to simply get out of your head and into your body and move freely!
Tyrus Watson & Kyla Kikkawa of Brain in Motion will lead an interactive, introductory Hip Hop dance workshop at Mentally We’re Here. To follow the workshop, there will be a brief performance from the facilitators.
If you’d like to contribute to this project, you can help by completing a survey before and after the workshop, and/or leave your information to be a participant in our pilot study and corresponding Hip Hop dance program.
Judy’s Forgotten Jewells will be on site with a “puppy therapy” experience where attendees can sit with adoptable dogs and experience the mental and physical health benefits of human-animal interaction, such as reduced blood pressure, hormone regulation, and improved breathing.
