Deep dive into connection by Dance between dimensions

To optimally transition from the outside world into the event and experience dance connections at the next level there is an optional but highly recommended deep dive into connection workshop guided by the experienced Elo & Melissa form Dance between dimensions. This workshop will take place on Sunday 29/12 from 14h till 18h. Places are limited for this special workshop, so register in time!

In this workshop, you will learn to connect deeply with yourself, creating a foundation to connect safely and consciously with others. They will introduce various tools that you can use during the marathon to enhance your dance experience. Their participants consistently share that these embodiment tools elevate their dance to a new level.

They incorporate elements of conscious connection, tantra, embodiment, somatics, emotional release, nonlinear movement, and inner work. This workshop offers a chance to release stress and stuck emotions, allowing you to open up to what truly wants to emerge. It is particularly powerful for exploring new possibilities for the upcoming year.

Their heart-centered approach will expand your capacity to experience flow, connection, bliss, and ecstasy in your dance. Come as you are—no prior experience or special mood is required. You are welcome in all your authenticity.

Embodied dance ‘morning’ workshops

Every day will start with an inspiring 1 hour workshop embodied dance by Jonny Driscoll. He will take you on a journey and prepare your body to enjoy the rest of the day with all your senses.

Embodied Dance is about experiencing and experimenting with the mind and body through different states of being. This practice of ‘being’ is what enables us to consciously navigate life without reacting to situations and circumstances around us. You will become more sensitive to your body and more aware of your thoughts, so that you can consciously choose to step out of your patterns and habits, and create the state of mind and body that you desire. Embodied dance is therefore a practice of being authentic.

Party themes

We’ll have to two themed parties.

On Monday we’ll have a neon party. This is the time to take out your most colourful cloths that shine under the UV lights. Don’t hesitate to add some accessories if you feel like it.

On Tuesday we’ll honour the Brazilian tradition with a white party. Let’s create this unique stylish white vibe to dive into the New Year!

Neon party with body paint

During the neon party on Monday the amazing bodypaint artist Roch will make you even more special.
Be prepared for a party with more dimmed lights and UV spots at full power to create a unique colourful neon vibe
.

Live music

To make the event even more special there will be a night with a set of live music brought to you by the amazing musicians of our local Zouk community.

If you play an instrument or sing and are motivated to participate in a live session, don’t hesitate to write us.
