Segment 1:
Get Out of your Mind and Into your Body
Focus on embodiment through the use of developmental patterns of movement, yoga, breath work, rolling and playing with floor as partner, and basic skills in contact improvisation. We will gain confidence in our bodies as grounded, present, and connected as we dance and move with newly acquired awareness.

Segment 2:
Access Limitless Energy
Focus on energy through deep exploration of each of the chakras, corresponding elements, fluid systems, music and sound. We will dance, move, breath, discuss, share, write and get to know ourselves, each other and our dance as we journey through the chakras and elements.

Segment 3:
Dancing Your Sacred Journey/Leading From Within
An intensive week of dancing, breaking down the teaching formula, and integrating our skills for the journey into leading. We tap into the Sacredness of the JourneyDance™ by experiencing, creating and facilitating. We will create spirit dances, water dances, warrior or fire dances, and heart dances. We will break down the experiences to deepen our understanding of leadership and facilitation. We will move through blocks within ourselves to acquire the skills necessary to lead with confidence, joy and passion. Music selection, listening sessions, CD's, and a teaching/learning manual will be provided.

This training is open to those people who have experience in yoga, movement, or dance and consider themselves a DANCER. Perfect for Yoga Teachers who wish to expand into dance, DansKinetics Teachers who wish to have additional training, Movement Therapists and other experienced movers.
