Join me for a 3 hour dance workshop in memory of my sister, Sabrina St.Angelo, lost to suicide after a life long struggle with significant mental illness.

This workshop will be a safe space to feel, heal, express, connect and dance alongside others that have experience with mental illness, have had a loss of a loved one, or who are advocates for suicide awareness and mental health supports in our community. I am partnering with Remix Swing, who is graciously hosting Vibes Dance in their studio to make this event possible! 100% of registration cost proceeds ($35 per spot) will be donated to Camino Mental Health + Well-Being, (less the eventbrite processing fee you see at check out that is added by and paid to eventbrite) in support of their services in the community that work to help individuals that may be facing mental health related hardships.

I recognize that not everyone is ready to hold space in this way, and some may want to support the Healing Movment cause but cannot attend. Alternatively, you may send a donation directly to Camino by using this link

The workshop will be broken into a two part combo class, roughly 1 hour and 20min per part. There will be allocated time for an intermission and community connections/introduction at the start. Since this whole event is for my sister, I'll be selecting music that she loved for each class.

Part One: Feeling

A contemporary style dance combination that focuses on feeling and expressing our emotions related to mental illness and suicide. A time to release what you may have been holding in, and remind you that you are not alone. A time to grieve and let our bodies express with our community.

Part 2: Healing

An upbeat choreography with inspiration from commercial/jazz funk style dance. This is a time for remembering and honouring our loved ones, for holding space for positive reflection and time spent with them. A time for healing and recognizing that it is okay to still have joy within suffering.
