XSomatic: Sensual Movemet + Heels

🚨 New 5 Week Series 🚨

Same style, different format

This class series is a somatic approach to healing

and self-discovery + expression through sensual movement.

Each week we will focus on a different dance skill and put it in practice through intuitive exercises and a final choreography.

Class is open to all bodies (18+). Open Level

Session 1: Somatic Embodiment in Dance:

We’ll begin with establishing a safe space, grounding through somatic meditation, and establishing individual goals for the intensive. Then we’ll begin learning choreography that will be built upon each week.

Session 2: Confidence

We will build upon the foundations established in Session 1 and explore ways to feel more confident in both choreography and improvisation.

Session 3: Personal Style

We will identify our inner voice and how that manifests not just in movement but in clothing, shoes, etc. We’ll practice adding our personal style to the choreography.

Session 4: Precision + Performance.

We will integrate all the tools we’ve gained and refine specificity and performance quality in the choreography.

Session 5: Dance for Camera.

We will practice embodying our skills while thinking of the audience on screen as we perform to camera.

HEELS REQUIRED. Make sure your heels are such that will not scratch the floor or make black marks on the floor

Let sound envelop you as we bring the body into a natural state of self-healing.

WHAT TO KNOW

This event features calm and dim light, scents (e.g. incense, herbs), gentle movement, and a peaceful mat experience with various instruments delivering an acoustic bath to promote mindfulness and healing. Due to the nature of the experience and for the sake of our guests, this event is not open to children age 8 and under. Older children and teens who can fulfill a respectful atmosphere for the other guests (e.g. following instructions, lying still and quiet for extended period of time) are welcome.

Please wear comfortable clothes that you can relax and move gently in. We try to keep the room at a comfortable temperature but consider the weather when choosing your wardrobe.
