POSTPONED: CADS ‘Dance YOUR Body’ Workshop

Date/Time
Mon 5th October
7:30 pm - 10:00 pm

Location
Upstairs @ Lansdown Pub

Due to illness this workshop has had to be temporarily postponed. We will provide details of the new date as soon as we have them. This means that there will not be a workshop this Monday (5th October).

The next CADS workshop will focus on movement.

“In a world of restriction, image pressure and dictated beauty, I am keen to encourage you to express yourselves fully and freely.

Dance YOUR Body, your movement, your idiosyncrasies, your dance. All is welcome – there is no right or wrong!

The class combines somatics*, experiential anatomy, ideokinesis (image based exploration), bodywork/touch and free improvisation.

We will also explore some basic Alexander Technique** principles.

The result is a deep opening and softening. You can physically release, access your natural strength and flexibility and liberate your mind and body. This feels wonderful!

This class is for all ages, ability and experience. Professionals and beginners both benefit hugely from this unimposing, inclusive access to our own individual dance”

*Somatics is a mind-body approach to your unique movement. It involves slowing down movements to bring about an unwinding, a tuning in to your senses and a deep relaxation. The slow and deep movements allow you to stop unhelpful holding patterns in the body, and so access your inherent, natural energy, strength and flexibility.

**The Alexander Technique is a powerful tool to learn how to use less effort in all you do. Through gentle hands on and discussion, you can experience the letting go unnecessary muscular effort and then continue to move with this increased ease and flexibility. Other positive benefits include more pleasure in movement, increased mental/emotional freedom and contentedness and more overall energy.
