Embodied Dance Journey for Kids
Simon and Whakarongotai
Kids are natural movers, learners and naturally express what they feel! Unfortunately though, due to many reasons, often led by societal conditioning, they can lose this natural flow, becoming self conscious and fearful of expressing themselves. They start to buy into the belief that they should move like this or that, be like this person or that person, act in a certain way, conform to the norm – they forget to be themselves.
Through embodied dance, they fearlessly reconnect with the vitality of now, expressing in their own unique way, connecting deeply with themselves through breath and body and also connecting with others in the space. We guide them through a journey that they create, in their own magical way, moving and expressing as they go, their imagination creates, their body guides.
The journey is sensitively designed to stimulate a range of emotional responses, giving full permission to express, be seen, heard and feel safe. All the while having fun, realizing how great it feels to move and deepening their sense of confidence to be more fully and beautifully themselves
Whakarongotai – I’m doing more of what I love and life keeps offering me more things I love!! As I create, workshops, embodied dances and expansive retreats, my intention is to nurture spaciousness, self-connection, and playfulness while growing to love all parts of us individually and collectively!
