Throughout my life, I can’t count the number of times that people have said to me upon discovering that I am a dancer and choreographer, “Oh, really? Well.. I can’t dance... I am like a pato mareado.” Ever since, it's been not only my professional mission, but my passion to debunk that myth. EVERYONE can dance. It’s a matter of gathering up your desire and courage, and taking that first step. That's why I have developed these innovative and playful workshops that not only help to break down these fear-constructed walls, but are also essential to creating human connection and collaboration.
What are they?
"Dare to Be Moved" Teambuilding events are designed to get participants to MOVE their bodies, while they PLAY with their vulnerabilities. They will CONNECT with each other, and to their own personal humanity by encouraging them to EXPERIMENT with practices outside of their comfort zone, which will ultimately increase their self-confidence and overall sense of well-being.
They will include a wide variety of dynamic and sometimes just plain silly activities- the majority of which based on the techniques and trainings used by professionals in the Performing Arts (dancers, actors, musicians); as well as a focus on relaxation, tension release, and mindfulness practices. All workshops & events are led by one or more highly qualified and experienced Performing Artist Facilitators.
Some examples of activities include:
“Ice-breaker” and Warm-Up Games
Tension Releasing Body Stretches
Restorative Breathing Techniques
Body Meditation
Power Postures
Trust Exercises
Non-Verbal Communication Games
Facilitated discussions around an important theme (optional)
Body Percussion and Vocalization
Basic Instruction to a popular song, dance, or a specific dance style
Creative “Dance Battles” or “Performance Art Contests” in teams
Final "Flashmob" performance with the whole group
These Events are specifically designed to get participants' heads out of “The Cloud” and back into their bodies so that they may find the joy that exists when being present, expressing themselves, and connecting with others authentically and with vulnerability. But of course, the overall goal of the experience is to relax and have a great time!
