CLOSER x-dance | A Sensual Exploration via a 5Rhythms Dance Journey

Perhaps you are curious about the idea of er-tsm as a creative life force energy? Or, you want to give yourself permission to play with the qualities of sensuality, clothing and aliveness in a safe(r) space with others? Or, you really love good music and want to dance outside the club space? Or, you’re curious to discover how greater freedom could feel and move with the possibility of exploring the er-tc …

This dance space is for all of you who are curious about the relationship between dance x movement and sensuality, pleasure x creativity and your unique life force energy.

No previous experience required.

CLOSER x-dance is open to all, creating a safe(r) space for different horizons, orientations and experiences.

Whether you are comfortable and familiar with these themes or exploring them for the first time, you are invited to join us.

CLOSER x-dance is a dedication to unshackling any chains that teach us to separate our inherent er-t*c aliveness from the rest of ourselves. It is an invitation to embrace the sensual when it arises, to grant permission to our emotions, and to move with creative play in a spontaneous movement journey.

This session gently tears down the boxes that equate er-tcsm to s3x, too. For, this textured word – er-tcsm – combines pleasure, joy, creativity, expression. It’s taste and sounds. Imagination and movement. Er-tcsm gives us a powerful avenue to play with emotional tensions, relieve inner struggles to find lightness, strength in vulnerability and pleasure.

Using the 5Rhythms framework, we will explore 5 fundamental life energies (rhythms) through the dance. The music is played like a “wave” where it goes up and comes back down again. There are 3 essential ingredients to each event:

• Freedom to be: You’re invited to let go of the thinking mind, explore physical and emotional landscapes without any pressure of performance or “getting it right”
• Invitations, not instructions: You’ll receive impulses and ideas to explore different aspects of movement and self-expression. Most importantly, you’ll be encouraged to follow what feels true for you.
• Presence: Dance becomes a meditation in motion, inviting presence directly through the body in each movement. As you feel the music and let the dance move you, your thoughts will be allowed to quiet down.

Info: Welcome + Introduction: After a guided warm-up through the body, we’ll have a general welcome and introduction to the theme for the evening before we go into the dance.
Dance + Music: Let go of any preconceived notions you might have about dance. Unlike anything you’ve experienced before, there is no choreography or special moves in this space. The music is played in a form of a wave where the rhythms will rise to a crescendo and then gently fall – and you’ll get to discover how it feels to move to those beats, moment by moment. During the dance, you’ll be guided with some words of inspiration and invitations (never instructions) to enhance your experience.

Info: Gathering after class: Once the official dance is over, we open the space for all who want to stay and connect. There will be snacks, opportunities for exchange and spaces for quiet reflections, too.
