Body Awareness and Improvisation: Rooted & Rising: Building balance and movement from within

This workshop is a part of a series of 6 workshops designed for anyone seeking to deepen their body awareness, expand their dance vocabulary, and enhance their improvisational skills.
The workshops are welcoming and judgment-free, focusing on personal growth in movement, confidence, and the joy of dancing. They prioritize exploration and self-expression over perfecting techniques or aesthetics and provide a supportive and non-competitive space.
These workshops are developed for:
- Dancers of any style, who want to deepen their improvisational skills and explore new techniques, including dancers of hip hop, Latin and social dances, folk, fusion, contemporary etc.
- Physical theatre practitioners who want to develop their physical expressiveness and connection with movement beyond the stage.
- Beginner and advanced dancers who want to explore and feel confident with improvisation.
- Anyone aiming to connect with their body and find inner balance through dance.

Workshop 1: Rooted & Rising: Building balance and movement from within
In this workshop, we will discover together how to move freely while staying balanced and centered. Starting with gentle warm-ups and body awareness exercises, we’ll gradually build to longer periods of free dance through structured improvisation. Together, we’ll explore the connection between our center and limbs, finding how movement initiated from our pelvis opens new possibilities in our dance vocabulary.
Drawing from basic elements of contemporary dance, release techniques, and mindfulness practices, we’ll work with practical tools that help us move more freely and trust our instincts rather than learning specific steps.
Workshops series:
The series is thoughtfully designed to progress over time, building on previous concepts. However, each workshop is a self-contained experience, allowing participants to attend as many—or as few—as they wish.
