Dates: Wednesday: 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM
Location: Okaeri Belly Dance Studio – 226 Queen St W, Toronto, ON M5T 1V5, Canada
Being a woman often means wearing different masks and playing multiple and sometimes contradictory roles in day-to-day life. Women are expected to be assertive (toughen up?) if a professional, act maternal if a mother, and be supportive if a partner. It can be tough to find moments where a woman can just be her true self: she often needs to be everything
