CurrentThe Session:Listen & Move is an open House Dance and Wellness session held at Grassroots Community Space in Jersey City, NJ. We provide a live DJ set of House, Techno and Experimental Music in a safe space as a platform for anyone to express themselves through movement. Come to dance, stretch, jump or simply listen.Move however you want to move.--------Our Mission: We believe expressive movement such as dance can be a way to connect the mind, body and spirit and evoke a desire to explore this connection. Through this connection we can learn more about ourselves and how we fit in our community, family and the overall fabric of our existence. Dance and music can become a conduit to understanding complex internal and social issues such as dealing with mental health related energy dysfunction, family communication and conflict resolution. This community based experience has been beneficial to us and our families over the past 20 years and our goal is to share it with our larger community.This program is based around the idea of community accountability. We cannot affect society positively if we don't absolutely take accountability for the affect our individual presence and energy have on our community. Dance presents the metaphor for this concept as it presents an opportunity to create the best version of ourselves and then share that energy with our community. We provide a safe space to motivate each other to do better, release that negative energy and just let it out! We hold each other accountable for our personal development, as a way to help lead people, including ourselves, towards better mental health, and create an overall better society.
