Life in Motion BXL

### Want to get more comfortable moving on the floor and build the foundations for soft acrobatics?

This event brings together two beginner-friendly workshops exploring movement on, across and close to the floor. We’ll work with rolling, sliding, spiralling, crawling, weight shifts and simple acrobatic elements, gradually building a wider range of movement possibilities.
The focus is on building foundations;developing coordination, mobility, strength and body awareness while learning to work with gravity, momentum and the support of the floor.
You don’t need previous experience in dance, floorwork or acrobatics, and you don’t need to be especially strong or flexible. Total beginners welcome.

### 12h30 Acessible Floorwork

Explore ways of moving on and close to the floor with more ease, awareness and fluidity. Inspired by contemporary dance and somatic approaches to movement, we’ll work with rolling, sliding, spiralling, and finding different pathways through low levels.

### 13h50 Break

### 14h10 Soft Acrobatics for beginners

Explore more dynamic ways of travelling through space and inversions inspired by Capoeira Angola and contemporary dance. We’ll connect hands and feet in different patterns, play with changes of direction and weight, and gradually introduce accessible low-level acrobatic movement.

### Discover how much connection, musicality and expression can happen in the smallest movements.

A full afternoon and evening exploring microdancing with international guest teacher Ari Levitt, followed by a potluck and open social dancing.
No previous microdancing experience required. Open to all levels and dance backgrounds.

### What is microdancing?

Microdancing is a dance form based on very small, subtle movements and an intimate, nuanced connection between partners. Instead of big steps or flashy moves, it focuses on tiny gestures, breath-sized shifts, and minimal body communication. This allows dancers to truly listen—to the music and to each other—creating a quiet yet deeply expressive shared experience.

### Whether you’re new to dance or have danced for years

If you’re an experienced dancer, microdancing offers a chance to take familiar skills in a different direction — exploring subtle connection, musical interpretation, body awareness and the possibilities of doing more with less.
If you’re new to dance, the workshops offer a playful and accessible introduction to partner connection, musicality and improvisation. You don’t need to know any steps, and you don’t need to come with a partner.
You might already dance tango, fusion, blues, contact improvisation, swing, salsa, forró or another partner dance — or come from a completely different movement background. The workshops are open level and designed to give everyone something to explore.

### What will the event be like?

We’ll begin with three open-level workshops, each approaching microdancing from a different angle. You’ll learn practical tools while having plenty of opportunity to experiment and develop your own way of dancing.
Between the workshops, we’ll share a potluck and have time to meet and connect with the other participants.
In the evening, the floor opens for several hours of practice with DJs Diana and Pierre — a chance to improvise and discover what microdancing feels like when the teaching stops and the music takes over.
