“EARTH, AIR, WATER, FIRE” INTENSIVE SEMINAR
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY, APRIL 9TH AND 10TH
“Stay grounded, but learn how to float. Dance with fluidity, but learn how to interrupt and redirect the flow when the music asks for a surprise.”
We invite everyone to an intensive seminar inspired by the four elements: earth, air, water, fire, where we will explore individual and connection techniques to lend new qualities of movement to our dance.
The seminar is progressive. We will start from basic principles of posture, core, walking and build on this gradually to arrive at a a dance that makes use of the full palette of physical sensations.
