ArtFreediving is also a unique structured and safe method of teaching dance on the surface of water and underwater. The world's first and only underwater dance school of Artfreediving exists more than 20 years and has various talented instructors and teachers across the world. In just several lessons you will be able to move confidently, beautifully and easily on the surface of the water without any effort. WHY ARTFREEDIVING? This approach is complementary to freediving. It adds playfullness, partnerwork and contact, art and creativity to the conventional freediving. It is a somatic approach to freediving and underwater movement, where through the body awareness, sensitivity, breath control, attention and playfullness one achieves harmony and relaxation. It is very harmonious and beautiful but also it is a way to work on oneself, on your fears, blocks and inner conflicts. It has been proven to have therapeutic qualities. The students learn to understand the biomechanics and individual characteristics of their bodies, and through body awareness to move in the water effortlessly.
