Workshop: A Deeper Dive into Underwater Dance


  • Castellammare del Golfo - Sicily Italy (map)

Led by Gabriel Forestieri, AIDA certified instructor, this intermediate to advanced underwater dance workshop 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, 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. 

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)
