x-dance is a dynamic practice that combines dance, expression and meditation. The workshop promotes the connection with one's own body and creates space for intuitive movements.

x-Dance | Creativity in Motion
In contrast to other dance forms, the focus is not on choreography or learning specific steps, but on the freedom to find more room for movement in your own body through dance. There are no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ movements - only the opportunity to discover your own expression through movement.
Based on the concept of the 5Rhythms, five basic life energies (rhythms) are explored through dance. The music is played in the form of a ‘wave’ that rises and falls.
The event consists of three main components:
- Freedom of movement: No pressure to perform or fixed forms of movement. Access to creative expression through free movement.
- No instructions, only impulses: Aspects of movement and self-expression are explored through impulses.
- Being in the moment: dance as a dynamic meditation that focusses on the here and now.
Programme
