Tao of Dance

The Tao of Dance:

A conscious dance workshop for seasoned dancers, beginners and everyone in between.

We show up week after week. We put our feet on the dance floor and bring ourselves into community. We court the movements of improvisation. Wewitness the rhythms of paradoxes: flying and grounding, dissolving and centering, expanding and contracting, activating and settling. We return again and again to the floor cultivating our capacities to dance to any song, to move through any feeling, to stay with any movement, to witness all that is present We dedicate ourselves to this practice so that we will be fortified in this chaotic world and guided on the journey home to ourselves.

In this workshop we’ll ask What can a practice of conscious dance offer us? We’ll explore this question using use the Tao Te Ching’s three treasures as a structure to explore three Core Movement Resources from Open Floor teachings (ground, center, and dissolve).

Thursday Movement w/ Michael Morse

Thursday Movement w/ Michael Morse

This is a great chance for anyone you know to give our dance a try. The container, the hard floor, air conditioning will make the environment safer for some, so don't hesitate to invite others to join. We will design a music program for a compelling exploration for all of us. Please do the best you can to be on time and to stay until the end. We also suggest bringing an issue or question with you to give to the dance. We'll circle at the end and possibly have an opportunity to share at that time. Finally, we ask that you be quiet in the room as sound will magnify in the enclosed space, and to be aware of your movement and its effect on people around you. No socks please, for your safety. Barefoot or dance shoes are ok.

Dunbar Dance Move Connect Studio, 325 W. 2nd St near Main.
Cost is $15, at the door or: Venmo: @Michael-Morse-33 Paypal.me/MichaelMorse626
