𝗘𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗹𝗼𝘄 On this retreat we will dive into the ways we use the weight of the body to create flow, speed and counter body motions effortlessly. Having grounding as the foundations of the technique, we will dive into the ways we can make the body “heavier” and “lighter”, so the leaders and followers can develop the presence to understand better when and how to stay balanced on their own axis and when to share it with their partner. During the workshop we will cover: ● The effortless way to find balance ● The “just enough” core activation ● Mastering weight shift while traveling with a partner ● Leading and following counter balance from the lower body ● Circular motion, speed and dynamics ● The body center: Moving from the lower body / upper body ● Flow: moving the spine with presence ● Head movements as consequence ● The weight of the body: Finding the flow with trust and surrender ● Lead and follow: The magic of giving, receiving and redirecting ● Challenging your flow: Loops of sequences to challenge and embody the concepts Workshop program will include 3 different types of classes: 𝟮𝟱% 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹: Where we share the philosophy and guide through experiences to explore the foundations of our technique that makes dance effortless and enjoyable. 𝟯𝟱% 𝗘𝘅𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗲𝘀: Where we train the body and mind to develop the physical abilities necessary to be challenged. 𝟰𝟬% 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: By creating loops of sequences, the student will be able to practice the concepts with our guidance and support while repeating our favorite moves. #brenderson #zouk #brazilianzouk #retreat #brendaanderson #andersonbrenda
