About this Event
7 - 19 September, Cirali, Turkey
This is the legendary, most extended course of Ocean Dance that traditionally happens each September. We have enough time to learn, practice, rest, be nourished by Nature and the group, and enjoy dancing with each other and the sea.
Come with any level of dancing, swimming, or freediving. Experience an intensive time of getting new habits, still very soft and tender, embraced by the group and the care of the instructors.
Become comfortable and confident underwater, in a way you never expected was possible! Start enjoying yourself and find new dimensions of pleasure. Recharge, gain unforgettable impressions and powerful changes, and become a new aquatic version of yourself, forever 🙂
