Open to all levels of diving dancers, this 3 day immersive Underwater Dance workshop will provide training and experience in apnea and movement underwater. The course offers 3 water sessions and 3 dry sessions with a somatic based approach to combining freediving and dance.
A combination of dry and water sessions will allow us to access greater understanding of our bodies in relation to underwater dance. During dry sessions, we will begin with a focus on breath and the fascial net to facilitate a present and calm state. This practice will evolve into exploring distal and proximal rotation with an emphasis on whole body awareness. During water sessions, we explore equalization, hydrodynamics, and becoming conscious of swimming versus dancing. There will be support at all times, and there will be no pushing limits as we honor ourselves, each individual practicing what feels comfortable. Our main focus will be expression, efficiency and relaxation, blurring the ideas of releasing and holding to find our dance while being embraced by the water.
