Dance is Love, that's right- LOVE!!
This workshop is a movement-life exploration for ALL
people regardless of your movement/dance experience. Bring your lover, close
friend, collaborator or even a first date to partner with for this magical
movement event!
When we actually make the time to be present in our
bodies, with ourselves, the earth on which we stand and each other, we find
there is always room for great healing, deeper clarity and authentic expression
of truth. Utilizing practices, games, and ideas fundamentally shift the way we
can authentically express, find our alignment, learn to listen and trust our
innate knowing and expand our awareness, which leads to our personal and
collective freedom.
In Dance is Love we begin by creating a golden container
of acceptance, creativity, and play. First, we guide everyone to drop into
themselves by using everything from breath and energy to solo movement exploration
games. Only then do we slowly establish our boundaries, empower our consent and
join our partner for the remainder of the workshop. Once in your chosen duo, we
will gently guide you through an ever-deepening journey. From movement infused
eye gazing to blindfolded trust dances to Contact Improv evolutions, we will
lean into fear by literally leaning into each other. Make sure the partner you
bring is someone you feel comfortable enough with both touching and receiving
touch from.
Dance is Love was created so we may have such a dojo to
practice our authentic connection as we lean into fear together, harnessing a
profound presence with self, community, and the universe as a whole. Gabriel
and Chelsea are educators and activators who specialize in creating experiences
that promote releasing the mind and moving into the body. Dance is Love is the
practice of what truly brings us into present alignment; so we may learn to
listen to the heart, the knowledge of the body, rather than consistently being
overwhelmed by the stories of the mind. When this becomes a dedicated practice
we find so much more playfulness, depth of connection, and meaning in life.
Arrive early with your partner or friend, having an open
mind, loose and comfortable clothing to move in, and water.
Facilitators: Gabriel Francisco and Chelsea Didier
