Open Floor is a dance mediation practice. Using core movement resources such as grounding, centering, releasing, our aim is to become more embodied, to be more comfortable in our own skin, present for anything and everything. When we live an embodied life we are fluid, flexible and free to experience all of the wild and subtle moments that go by, the ones that are heavenly as well as the ones that have us dragging our feet.
How do we use dance to be fully embodied?
How do we make the most of this one short precious life?
What to bring:
- Bring your own water bottle
- Wear comfortable clothes to move in
- Dance barefoot or in soft-soled indoor shoes
Any questions, comments or responses please do get back to me, sarah@openfloor.org
