About #FeelingsFirst: When taking dance workshops, something we've experienced first hand was this: Going there excited, thinking we'll be sharing, connecting with people, screaming, enjoying ourselves whilst actually DANCING… When in fact, it was mostly all about technique, performance, competition, cameras, ego, showing off… and so on. Which is completely fine, but not for us. We Dance because we crave connections to self and to others; Because Dance reveals our unique talents as human beings; Because Dance enables us to express our emotions and exceptional stories; Because Dance helps us understand our bodies and get into motion no matter what life brings us; Because Dance is Life itself. #FeelingsFirst Dance Workshops Series is born out of one thought: make you EXPERIENCE dance and go through a journey of understanding, connecting, expressing, and sharing. With yourself, AND with others. We're going to:Finding you — let our curiosity guide us towards finding our gifts as dancers;Embracing you — scratch those layers and reveal, own and embrace the unique dancer that lies in you;Sharing you — let that bomb ass of a dancer you are shine, and share their story with the world!AFRO, DANCEHALL and HIGH HEELS on the menu for you to explore and expand your dance journey towards more enjoyment, love and movement freedom.Level is OPEN TO EVERYONE, and we'll be challenging both our beginners & intermediate Queens and the workshops all include: Welcome & refreshments Journaling & visualisation exercices Dance practice Reflection time & connection PRICE tickets:Day pass — 55€Full pass — 150€SPOTS ARE LIMITED so SIGN UP NOW via email at saboudanceacademy@gmail.com.Remember: we dance first, and think later With love xxT-Zer & Sabou
