Whine Down Wednesdays
About this Event
Midweek is the perfect time to pause and shake off stress! Join Afro Sol Arts & Wellness for an outdoor movement experience where yoga meets dance, music, and community.
Each week begins with a dance warm-up combining yoga movements designed to release tension in the hips, lower back, and body. We'll then transition into easy-to-follow choreography inspired by a different genre each week—including Dancehall, Soca, Afrobeats, and more.
After learning the choreography, we'll let loose with a freestyle dance session where everyone is encouraged to move in their own way, express themselves freely, and contribute their unique style as we bring the dance together as a group. No pressure, no perfection—just movement!
Whether you're brand new to yoga or dancing, or you've been moving for years, this experience welcomes all body types and beginner to intermediate skill levels.
What to Expect:
- Gentle warm-up
- Yoga with a focus on hip openers and lower back release
- Fun, beginner-friendly choreography
- Freestyle dance and creative expression
- Cool-down stretch and relaxation
- Community, connection, and joy
Please Bring:
• Yoga mat (I have up to 12 yoga mats to provide if you don't have one)
• Water bottle
• Comfortable clothing you can move in
• Optional towel and bug spray
Note: This will be held outdoors near the River Bend Shelter pavilion at Genesee Valley Park.
Come ready to move, laugh, sweat a little, and catch a vibe.
