Led by Gabriel Forestieri, a certified AIDA dive instructor, this introductory underwater dance course takes place on land, in shallow water, and in open water. The goal is to give every participant an experience of dancing completely immersed in water without any sensation of gravity. 

The course will include somatic practice, equalization training, apnea techniques, and basic orientation through hydrodynamics. The course will move gradually, using a weighted line to guide slow progression to diving deeper. Please note, this course is not based on learning choreography. Participants work with their own level of comfort and desire to explore how their bodies move underwater. Each participant brings their own unique body and movement style to their dance. projectLIMB will not ask you to dance with the goal of regurgitating moves unauthentic to your own body. We ask for an open mind when discovering your individual underwater movement style.

With careful guidance from the instructor, each participant will get specialized attention to ensure their specific needs and questions are answered. There are many aspects to dancing underwater; this course aims to touch on all of them and give space for integration - all while in the incomparable setting of the Tyrrhenian Sea along the NorthWest Coast of Sicily. If you have ever dreamed of feeling weightless and love to be in the water, please join us in dancing with the sea.
