Dance improv workshops: Somatic floorwork & partnering

These workshops are open to anyone interested in exploring movement as a way to deepen body awareness, improve mobility and enjoy dancing in connection with others. The workshops offer an original blend of dance practices, combining contemporary dance, elements of Body-Mind Centering®, relaxation and mindfulness techniques,as well as capoeira, and a pinch of partnered styles such as forró, tango, and fusion dance.

13:50 – Doors open

14:00 –Workshop 1: Floor Creatures
Step into a playful floorwork journey inspired by developmental movement patterns and somatic improvisation (drawing from Body-Mind Centering). Through rolling, sliding, crawling, spiraling, and yielding to the floor, we’ll rediscover the body’s natural movement intelligence in a relaxed and creative atmosphere. Expect guided improvisations, imaginative movement scores, and a grounding experience where the floor becomes your dance partner.

15:20 – Break and refreshments

15:40 – Workshop 2: Built on trust: partnered communication in dance
This workshop returns by popular request.

Together we will explore practical tools for communication in partnered dance through touch, breath, shared weight, eye contact, and movement improvisation. Focusing on listening rather than anticipating, we will practice giving and receiving clear physical invitations, respecting boundaries, and developing trust through attentive movement.
Working in pairs, trios, and group exercises, we will explore responsiveness, presence, adaptability, and support — essential elements for moving together with care and confidence.

Open to both newcomers and returning participants.
