everyday dancing

The everyday dancing practice is a conversation between the inner world of thoughts, sensations, alignments, actions and the outer world of spaces, places and people.

The dance arises from how we play mindfully and aesthetically with spontaneous action. Warm-ups become sketches become compositions.

We engineer action in space, feel movement images arise and transform, practice letting go of our expectations of how the dance should look and relax into our body's intelligence.

Breathing in, you say, I am a dancer. Breathing out, you say, this is my dance.
