Workshops
Afro Dance Workshop
Explore what African rhythms give to us: connect with your body, raise your energy level, feel mother earth, dance in community, be free and above all: let's celebrate life together!!!! This is a workshop to activate our body and express ourselves through movement to the rhythm of the drums.
Expressive Movement Workshop
Find your own form of expression through movement: dance joy, sadness, frustration, uncertainty. Embody your emotion and find a way to share it with others. The proposal is to explore the co-creative relationship between Interior Connectivity and Outer Expressivity, for which we will use therapeutic dance techniques, bodyfullness (body awareness) and improvisation.
Find your flow- Bodyfulness practices
Inspired by embodied flow yoga, somatic movement, bodyfulness, and dance techniques, this slow-paced but dynamic class is accessible to all who wish to take the time to contemplate and listen to the body -mind in motion.
Special Needs
Because dance is medicine and it is for everyone. To feel the healing effect of being in movement with others, we just have to explore and find the way to express and let ourselves be seen and heard.
