One thing that makes ROOTS Week different from other conferences is that we incorporate body movement of many kinds into the flow of the days. ⁠ ⁠ We celebrate “making a decision” with a dance break. (Yes, we ask the sound folks to have some dance music queued up). ⁠ ⁠ In between performances, someone teaches a line dance. ⁠ ⁠ Early risers get their stretch on lakeside. ⁠ ⁠ Afro-Caribbean dance class with Marquetta DuPree is a perennial favorite, and accessible to many kinds of bodies. ⁠ ⁠ We love to see anyone and everyone moving! ⁠ ⁠ We remind ourselves to breathe, roll our shoulders, and let go of our tight glutes. We remember that we have bodies that need care, in order to do the good, hard work with each other. ⁠ ⁠ @md_wellness⁠ devonknightner
