Workshop Connection & Body Awareness com Luise & Leonie em Köln, Domingo 30.07

Connection & Body Awareness Workshop
Sunday, 30.7., 18:00-20:00 Uhr
Donation-based
Kennedy Ufer 2, Köln Deutz

The best dances happen when we have a good connection with our partners. But how can we establish that? We want to explore this with you and put a special emphasis on body awareness.

We find that the more we are aware of our own and our partner’s body, the easier we can build connection. The first step for this is having awareness of your own body: your balance, your posture, how it wants to move.

Let’s try this together! We both have experience with this also outside the realms of Forró* and want to share some of that with you.

Open for anyone who has basic Forró knowledge.

Hope to see you there!
Luise & Leonie

*i.e. other (partner) dances, Eurythmy, fascia work, Feldenkrais
