This workshop offers a creative space for dancers to practice the art of emotional expression in movement, beginning with mindful awareness of both physical sensations and inner beliefs that may shape self-expression. In a world that often asks us to hold back, this session invites dancers to connect deeply with their emotions and ask: What do I feel today? What do I hold back, and why? Through improvisational tasks, working individually and in dynamic groups, you’ll explore the freedom of letting emotions shape your dance, whether it’s joy, sorrow, or fear. In this journey of expression and self-discovery, you’ll develop a movement language that embodies your truth with authenticity and artistry.

Curious to continue your mindful movement journey?

Then the workshops Mindful movement deep dive: dancing with your inner strength and Mindful movement deep dive: stepping onto your dancing path are for you!

This workshop can be followed both as an independent workshop or as part of a series in combination with the two suggested courses.

Practical

This course will be taught in English. Wear clothes in which you can move freely. We dance barefoot.
Don't forget to bring a bottle of water and a light lunch.

Level of experience

Level X: For everyone. Experience with dance, yoga or mindfulness is welcome but not necessary at all.
