Sensing Tango — A Beginner's Course
2026-05-07 19:15 - 20:30 | Moon Room @ Common Street Spiritual Center, 13 Common Street, Natick, 01760, United States
Argentine tango is one of the most intimate social dances in the world — and one of the most misunderstood. Most people learn it as a set of steps. This course teaches it as a conversation.
Over six classes, we’ll build the foundational skills of tango from the inside out: how to stand, embrace, and move with a partner — not through drilling technique, but through guided exercises in body awareness, breath, and attentive listening. You’ll learn to feel what your partner is communicating, and to express yourself clearly and kindly in return.
You’ll leave with enough grounding to enjoy a social tango event — and a set of inner tools that will deepen every dance you take on from here.
No experience necessary. No partner required.
Time: Thursdays, Apr 2 – May 7, 7.15pm (6 classes)
Location: Common Street Spiritual Center, Moon Room. 13 Common St Natick, MA 01760
$20 per class · $100 for the series · NOTAFLOF · Drop-ins welcome, and like tango itself, the material rewards revisiting.

Dub Yoga x Reggae Dance Party
2026-06-29 19:00 - 22:00 | Common Street Spiritual Center, 13 Common Street, Natick, 01760, United States
On Monday, June 29th, Strictly Yard Music presents a unique night of Yoga, Reggae, and Community! At 7 pm, Dr. Jen Kurz will teach a special DUB YOGA class in step with the sounds of Reggae and Dub music courtesy of DJ Jah Rich. This vinyasa flow will have a “taste of the Carribean” as DJ Jah Rich spins the Jamaican music to the beat of the class! All the action goes down at the popular Common Street Spiritual Center, a homebase for spiritual entrepreneurship in the MetroWest (MA). Admission is $15 or a Food Pantry donation at the center.
At 8 pm, the lights turn down and the music turns up! DJ Jah Rich will spin the best in Reggae from Studio 1 treasures to Rub-a-Dub bangers, all the way to Dancehall hits and the latest from the ever expanding world of Reggae music. There will be LIVE performances by Nyjah DiOrganizah and Jah Rico, who both released a steady stream of singles in 2025/6. There will be a toast at 9 pm to celebrate the birthdays of Empress Jen and Nyjah DiOrganizah. This Reggae Dance Party is free and family friendly. There is plenty of parking and a comfortable atmosphere. This unique event is a one-two punch that shouldn’t be missed! https://commonstreet.org/event/dub-yoga-x-reggae-dance-party/
What is Dub music?
Dub is one of the many sub genres of Reggae. Dub is instrumental Reggae that is artistically enhanced and layered with effects like echo and reverb as well as production techniques like splicing in snippets of vocals or sporadically dropping out all the instruments except for the powerful, stripped down drum and bass. Dub gives the recording engineer the opportunity to become the artist as their multi-track mixing console acts as the instrument. An engineer making Dub is like a chef creating a unique meal not often seen on most menus! Jamaican producer and engineer King Tubby is credited as the creator of Dub, as he first experimented with ways to manipulate and “dub out” his instrumental tracks in the early 1970s. Today, his innovation and influence is widely seen in genres like techno, drum and bass, and dubstep. Dub stands as another example of the rich contributions of Jamaican music. Jah Rich 7/19/2023
