Led by Gabriel Forestieri, this intermediate to advanced underwater dance course is designed for those already comfortable free diving to 8 meters or greater. The goal is to give everyone an experience of dancing completely immersed in water without any sensation of gravity. The course will include somatic practice, buoyancy orientation, freediving with a nose clip (without a mask), the introduction of dancing with a prop, dancing with a partner, extending your dive time, and tips for filming underwater dance. The course will integrate video footage as a tool for greater self evaluation of hydrodynamics and a deepened kinetic awareness underwater.
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.
The workshop will consist of water and dry sessions each day. We have also scheduled in time for rest and opportunities to visit the area. If you have ever dreamed of feeling weightless and love to be in the water, please join us in dancing with the sea.
*** Please note housing + food is not included in this course. Make sure to book your accommodations soon! ***
