March classes taught by Rossana Alves
In this journey, we are going to investigate our inner sources for dancing: how our inner sensations can be a rich resource for movement expression. Using Somatic approach, we will seek for release and ease of movement, which opens up sensory awareness and perception. In this way, we refine connection with a partner, improve physical skills, dancing in a fluid, dynamic and creative way. Special attention will be given to qualities of touch, modulation of tonus, and listening.
