UPLIFT : SEER Dance workshop

A two hour dive into SEER movements initiating and encouraging uplift in the body. We move through the element of Air , shifting and raising the space of the heart, moving swiftly though space, and finding stillness in open mudra of the body.

SEER dance is created from many generations of Belly dance, somatics, and a tapestry of folkloric and mystic movement practices all chosen for their nourishment for the body. Our deep focus in the London session is to create health, joy and balance for the body through fluid movement and the threading together of dance Runes ( or sequences) to allow your body to drink it all in.

All levels are welcome though a fondation of Belly dance is helpful.

SEER dance helps to initiate:

A softening into the parasympathetic nervous system

An opening of the heart physiologically, psychologically and spiritually

The bringing of essential fluidity to the pelvis, rib cage and pelvic floor

An engagement in healthy trance

Tools of grounding and release

EXPECT

A warm up

Roots movements introduced through a somatic and internal gaze.

Runes ( dance sequences threading movements together)

Each class is full of a welcoming group of dancers ( this group is predominantly but not exclusively women). OUr aim is not competition but connection and belonging.

Hannah Mi Anis is co-creator of SEER DANCE/MOVEMENT and The Heroine’s Path.

Her dance ethic is centred on the belief that dance is a rite of passage and that sacred rite is a holistic and natural part of life.

Hannah has been a performer, teacher, & chroreographer on the London and global scene for more than 20 years. She was the co -creator of one of London’s most long standing belly dance collectives, FireWater. She has accumulated 25 years of performing, teaching, holding space, events and retreats.

The entire of her dance journey to date has been a search for an authentic and wild life through the lens of music, dance and poetry of the body. She traveled and temporarily lived in Japan, Bali, California and India, Turkey, Morocco and Southern Europe; performing, dancing, connecting in dance and music upon rooftops, brightly lit stages, underground nightclubs, castle walls, and amongst the rich and earthy energy of the great forest.  The fabric of SEER dance is decorated with each experience. and distilled to its energetic form.

Her training has spanned decades immersing in extensive theory and physical training in Middle Eastern Belly dance of many styles, Mystical Dance, Classical Indian Dance (Odissi), Middle Eastern Music Comprehension, Yoga, Somatics, Birthwork and Women’s Health.

Her main guides and teachers are Mishaal of the Devadasi studio (Bali/Tokyo) and Colleena Shakti of the Shakti school of dance in Rajhastan. She has studied 7 years of Fatchance style, under Philippa Moirai, 10 years of Yoga in the school of Sivananda., and countless musicians and dancers met along the way as it is within our nature to share the joy and wisdom we know integral to our experience.

Whilst beginning to move into the transition of motherhood, Hannah began to look even more deeply into what moves the body and found how dance reflects many holistic somatic practices and vice versa.

In 2016, she became a qualified Well Woman Yoga Therapy practitioner under the guidance of Uma-Dinsmore-Tuli, trained also as a doula under Michel Odente and Sacred Birth with Aimee Hamblyn,.

She is a qualified practitioner Holistic Somatic healing specializing in Integrative Pelvic Health practitioner, and Integrative Breathflow, a deeply feminine counterpart to breathwork that leads us through our anatomy & movement into the realm of the deep thrum of the feminine that underlies all that we are.

She is strongly passionate about bringing an embodied and spirit led experience to every transition of our lives as women, and the learning of essential and valid forgotten tools that enable us to reclaim the sovereign health of our bodies.

The style you will learn with Hannah holds echoes of each of these influences but has grown and evolved to become its own language. Through this framework, she seeks to connect each dancer with their own fluidity, strength and individual expression.

We call it SEER Dance ( Sacred Earth Embodied Movement and Ritual).
