SISTERHOOD COLLECTIVE
It Takes A Village is constantly evolving. We have transformed Village Wellness into the Sisterhood Collective – a curated group of holistic health and wellness practitioners dedicated to bringing opportunities for connection, empowerment and inspiration to our membership. These classes and seminars are priced by ‘suggested donation’. That means your class fee is tax deductible and not only covers the cost of attendance, but also contributes to a scholarship fund that allows free attendance to a sister in need. It’s a win-win-win!!

RUBY GEORGE | Dance
My love and passion is not only expression through movement, but also helping others to realize the joy of dance. I am a life-long dancer, and have created a style of workout dance that is easy to follow, super fun, and a great workout. The goal of every class is to laugh, sweat, and release your stress/worries/tension through movement. No prior dance experience is required...this is not an hour to feel self conscious or nervous about looking like everyone else - it is an hour to get in touch with your body, find your inner dance warrior, and have fun. I've been teaching these classes for years, and I look forward to them as much as my students because every single one is a fun, and a fantastic workout. We dance to all types of music and every class includes a warm up, full body workout, cool down and stretch. See you there!
