Description

This workshop is about expressing yourself through movement in the way you truly want, creating poetry with the language of our whole body. Through breathing, different techniques and visualizations, as well as the groove of the music, you will get to know your body better, and use it to express yourself. With improvisation, self-made or learned choreographies we express ourselves and listen to each other with respect, curiosity and a big dose of fun!
