❈ Dance Movement Therapy

Dance movement therapy is an experiential, creative therapy that focuses on processing and transformation via the body, through dance and movement as a medium. It is described by the European Association for Dance Movement Therapy (EADMT) as: "the therapeutic use of movement to promote the emotional, cognitive, physical, spiritual and social integration of the individual."

Dance as physical exercise, creative expression and communication, forms the core of dance movement therapy.

From Tangotherapy to moving in complete freedom, based on your inner impulses, and everything in between: together we get what is stuck in movement again through a creative process, in which the body in motion plays a major role, using your existing or to be developed movement vocabulary.

You can join me for individual therapy sessions. Besides that, there are open group sessions with a therapeutic character.

 ❈ Authentic Movement

The Discipline of Authentic Movement

- meditation in motion -

is a practice that helps you develop body awareness and intimate self-knowledge in the presence of (an)other person(s).

Course of a session

As a "mover", you listen with your eyes closed to what is moving through you. You welcome and observe your movements and the wide range of experiences and forms of expression that animate your body, in the presence of a non-judgmental "witness", who actively follows your journey (and that of the other movers) with open eyes.

This ritual of moving is followed by a ritual of talking about and listening to the experience.

This discipline, developed by Janet Adler, helps you to cultivate your inner witness, a clear and compassionate awareness, an intimate knowledge of yourself in the presence of others, and honours the uniqueness of your person in mutual interdependence.

❈ Oriental & Gypsy Duende

These sessions draw on the undulating movements and sensuality of Oriental dance, as well as rhythms, dance steps and techniques inspired by various Roma dance styles.

Dancing 
As a discovery of and ode to your femininity. 

Dancing
to give space to your emotions, from sadness to great joy. 

Dancing
as an encounter with yourself and the group.

Dancing 
until only the magic and fire of the Duende remains.

 ❈ Danser à deux (for women)

Do you dream of being able to dance with a partner, but for some reason you prefer not to do so in a mixed group, but rather with other women? Then these two sessions might be just the thing for you. 

Don't expect a traditional dance class, but rather an exploration of yourself, the space and dancing with another person.

The sessions are based on my background in dance therapy, Danza Duende training (Yumma Mudra), Tango, etc., and are aimed exclusively at women with no experience of partner dancing.
