Water Dance on Monday

Water Dance is a collaborative exploration of the movement possibilities in the aquatic environment. The word dance here means free conscious expression and aimless, but very beautiful non-verbal communication with a partner/partners. The experience of almost effortless movement in water, combined with the feeling of fluid connectedness, gives us guidelines for authenticity, co-creation and a special feeling of sharing this experience with other people. There will be a solo exploration, as well as the exercises with a partner and in mini-groups. Each class is different, but all are based on contact improvisation principles and include somatic patterns and water breathing tips. No special skills in contact improvisation or swimming are required. Class will be exciting for both beginners and water dance enthusiasts. • 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠: 8:45 arrival 9:00 guided exploration (class) 10:00 self-led practice (jam) space for movement and self-discovery 11:00 finishing circle • 𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐄 If you are familiar with water dance you can join only for jam, if it is your 1-2 time please come at 8:45.
