Holistic Dance class from Sini´s Salon
My Holistic Dance class - ´Dance like nobody is watching´- experience, (1,5h) is based in holistic approach. Its aim is to integrate physical, mental and spiritual practice and to be fully present in the moment. It is a dive in to your inner-self and a practice to keep that connection with you, when open up yourself to the outside world. In my sessions I will offer you time to listen to yourself, your movement and intuition, to become more conscious and aware of your movement quality.
I start the sessions with the calm cleansing breath and releasing the muscles to open up and let go unnecessary tension. Then gently activating senses from within by grounding to the earth and expanding to the space around you. I will give some easily accessible movements which you can start to vary creatively in you own free way, while the class continues. In the end I will guide you to create your own ´Dance like nobody is watching´- experience, letting yourself flow freely by trusting your intuition. When you dance, for me the most important thing is to enjoy it, and to let yourself to be free.
To prepare yourself for the class is to have comfortable clothes and an open mind. You might also want to arrange your space the way that you can move freely and safely.
Come discover your inner dancer and to enjoy the purifying flow of movement!

About "Salon de Danse"
In 2013, I created the Salon de Danse- method specifically for non-professional dancers. It started with a group of women who loved to dance and move and wanted to experience dance classes without too much pressure of learning choreography.
The method I have developed expands individuals’ movement and allows everyone to use their intuition and movement in an individual way. For each class I create an environment and tone which provides participants a possibility to experience different kinds of sensations and the purifying flow of dance.
In my class you can move without thinking too much, instead, letting yourself free to enjoy the energy and the movement. There is no judgment of doing right or wrong; individual differences are celebrated.
All you need is an open mind and a wish to dance. You´ll learn to be aware of your body and your intuition and have the freedom to experience your movement. This way of moving allows you to feel more centered and energized. Light in both the body and mind.
