It's not about the gender identity / expression or sex when we unapologetically explore our bodies with a Mx. So let's take a stimulating Cruz into an all bodies workshop embracing freestyle & choreography distinctively focusing on unmasking oneself approach through articulation, co-ordination, experimental shadowing & rhythmical structure.

Here we will unpack & deconstruct uninhibitedly the way we extemporaneously express our bodies in the presences of pleasurable spaces & stages. Together we will connect & exchange our stimulating essence as we dive into elements of dance, movement & sounds. So be prepared to take your mind, body and soul on a thrilling ride to rediscover the lust for your body as you unleash what you inherently persevere - that inner Mx & Masc’ish energy which isn’t owned by one particular gender spectrum!

● Towel

● Water / Electrolytes / Body Fuel Gels
