Dance therapy is offering numerous benefits for physical,
mental, and emotional health. Music itself can be a very powerful tool. It can
affect our moods and our state of well-being by triggering memories and other
emotional experiences. When dance or any movement is set to music, it can
create a stress relieving, joyful and sometimes healing moment for those involved,
as well as increasing/releasing endorphins in the brain.
Please join us for the dance movement therapy workshop in
Cupertino, where we will explore different attributes of the emotional and
physical well-being through set of the creative and fun exercises, mixed with
the episodes, filled with free-form dancing.
Main benefits you may expect:
- Getting a good ability to express suppressed emotions
- Establishing a positive and rejuvenating connection
with your body
- Improving general physical fitness and gross motor
skills development
- Processing internal negative beliefs, improving
confidence and self-esteem
- Encourages creativity and imagination
- Connecting others people on emotional level
- Creating a positive life outlook, addressing stressful
life events and depressive episodes
Every workshop is different, and the facilitator will
follow the flow, adjusting the list of the exercises and free-form dance
activities to the created team spirit and atmosphere.
Important notes:
- No partner or previous dancing experience necessary.
- All ages and physical capabilities are welcome. You
choose you own level of participation and involvement.
- Please try to be on time, as it is easier to “catch a
wave” if you are present from the class beginning.
- Clothing: anything that would let you move freely.
- Shoes: dancing bare-feet is the best, but you can also
use soft flat shoes. Please no outdoor shoes on the floor.
- There is plenty of parking near the studio. Follow the
GPS guidance, however as soon as you turn to the parking lot from Bandley
Drive, you need to drive around the building to find the Li's Wushu Academy
Entrance at the back. There are no entrances from the front or sides of the
building.
Workshop Facilitator: Tanya Pekker, LMFT
Cost: Recommended donation $15 (cash, at the door).
