The second Sunday of the month, before the Brunch Musicale. An hour and fifteen of yoga in Main with Claudio Cicatiello.
What it is
Yoga from 10.30 am to 11.45 am, with Claudio Cicatiello. No experience needed, and if you don't have a mat we'll lend you one. The Brunch Musicale starts at 12, and is paid separately. You get there with a straight back, which helps at the buffet.
tastings
Sunday
11Oct · 12.00 pm
The second Sunday of the month: sweet and savory buffet, live music, and all the time you need.
No rush
A moment made for taking your time and sharing it, in a space that's elegant, unusual and welcoming.
Book a table
From 12:00 to 3:30 pm. If you're coming as a group you can book, and you should: the second Sunday the lounge fills up.

Sunday
11Oct · 5.00 pm
The season's new thing: the floor opens on Sunday afternoons, at five, and sometimes with a theme.
What it is
Seven Sundays of dancing in the afternoon instead of the evening. Five have a theme — the opening, the newcomers, the showcase, Valentine's Day, the competition — the other two are just themselves: music, dancing and the counter open.
To be there
Admission: included in the Tuballoswing membership card. With the Renny card only, it's five euros.

Wednesday
14|21|28Oct · 10.00 pm
One night a week you just dance, with no class. No course, no level: there's the music, and whoever wants to takes the floor. At the counter there's always someone who never takes the floor all night, and they're there for the music, for a drink and to watch.
No class
Nothing is taught: you practice, or you watch how it's done. Someone who just started dances with someone who's been at it for twenty years.
Even if you don't dance
The Banco A Ristoro is open, the kitchen is cooking, and sitting down doesn't commit you to anything.

18Oct · 3.30 pm
by Alessia Ambu
Two hours of free dancing, no steps to learn: five rhythms one after the other, on your own and among others.
What it is
The 5 Rhythms are a movement practice born in the Seventies from Gabrielle Roth. There are no figures or choreographies to learn: you follow the music through five rhythms — flowing, staccato, chaos, lyrical and stillness — which one after the other form a wave. You dance on your own and among others, and everyone moves however it comes.
To be there
To enroll, write or call the Renny, which passes the request on to whoever runs it.

Students, expats, people here on Erasmus, travelers — and anyone who wants to meet new people in Florence.
To be there
Admission: €20 per meeting plus the Renny membership card, which is required

Saturday
24Oct · 11.00 am
Movement practices to be in it, to feel ourselves in it, and to choose to stay out. To take ourselves in hand and take ourselves less seriously.
What it is
Activity curated by Seesaw Project, artistic direction by Veronica Boniotti. There are things we want, things we put up with, things we consent to or refuse. Sometimes we say yes and wish we were capable of a flat no! Sometimes we regret our noes.
We come closer, we move away, we adapt, we hide, we expose ourselves. Sometimes we make ourselves small to leave room. Other times we take up a great deal of it without even noticing. We are so unfit for life that we are perfect. For three Saturdays we'll try to take all of this a little less seriously and, for that very reason, very seriously, and we'll explore it through the body.
Through contemporary dance and physical theater practices, and above all through play and the richness of gesture and movement, we'll try out emotions, boundaries, desire, closeness, distance, consent and choice. Simply to sharpen the technique of really asking ourselves how we are. Whether and how we're in it. And whether we feel like staying out.
The workshop is open to neurotypical and neurodivergent people, with and without disabilities, with or without experience in dance or theater. No prerequisites needed. No need to be poised or cool. No need to tell your business. All you need is to bring a little curiosity and the desire to switch off your brain and see what happens.
creative arts
Saturday
24Oct · 3.00 pm
Once a month the space becomes a creative living room: workshops, readings, exhibitions.
From three to seven
The afternoon runs from 3 to 7 pm, and inside it you move around: you come for one thing and stay for another.
What goes on
The constant is the Circolo di Lettura. The others change and take turns — pastry, sewing and embroidery, painting, sign language — and any Saturday can bring a new one.
It ends at the table
Every session ends with a friendly aperitivo, the moment when people who didn't know each other start talking.
To be there
cultural events
Saturday
24Oct · 5.00 pm
In the living room, every fourth Saturday at 5 pm: one book everyone has read and an afternoon to talk about it.
The first book
“Never Let Me Go” by Kazuo Ishiguro. Kathy, Ruth and Tommy grow up in a boarding school in the English countryside, where everything seems safe and in order.
A truth that arrives slowly
Ishiguro doesn't need plot twists: the novel's strength is the calm with which it leads you toward something that becomes hard to ignore.
After the meeting
Anyone who wants to stops by the Banco A Ristoro for a drink and keeps the conversation going. The pages matter, says Giulia, but the conversations matter even more.
To be there
Places are limited: book on the site, one session at a time.
Admission: free, with the Renny membership card, which is required
creative arts
Saturday
24Oct · 5.00 pm
An afternoon with the Il Glicine nursery. Build your terrarium from scratch and take it home.
What it is
A hands-on workshop with the Il Glicine nursery, part of Sabato Creativo. You start from scratch and, step by step, everyone builds their own terrarium to take home. We talk about plants, materials, composition and how to keep it alive. Materials included. We work from 5 to 7 pm; at 7 pm there's the aperitivo, paid separately. The workshop runs with at least 10 people signed up: we confirm it Friday, October 23 at 1 pm. If it doesn't run, we let you know and give you your money back.
