Led by Gabriel Forestieri, AIDA certified instructor, this introductory underwater dance workshop takes place on land, in shallow water, and open water. 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, equalization training, apnea techniques, and basic orientation with hydrodynamics. The course will move gradually, using a weighted line to allow slow progression to diving deeper. 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 will 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.

All participants will have single room accommodations in a shared villa located 900 meters from the sea. The villa will offer shared living, cooking, bathroom spaces with private bedrooms. Rooms have air conditioning for your comfort and outdoor shared space includes a panoramic terrace overlooking the sea, a second garden section with pergola, barbeque, and an outdoor heated shower.

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.

Registration FULL - Life is always changing; please join the waitlist. If a space becomes available, we will alert you right away. (limit 6 participants, registration closes 25 June or when full)
