Dancing On Waves—Universal Body Rhythms

April 4, 2009

Discover the dance of the wave.  Bring a full body freedom and health in all the joints while dancing in pure pleasure with undulations and rhythms of the full body wave.  Elemental qualities of movement will unfold and you embark on the fluidness of a river, undulations of a snake, the oscillation of a sound wave and the energy of the wind. This class will move from slow discovery to dynamic dancing and is open to all bodies that want to discover her or his dancing body.

* Description of AXIS SYLLABUS (AS) DANCE

The Axis Syllabus is a conscious movement method applied to dancing  and based on the work of Frey Faust.  Axis Syllabus is a movement training and weight distribution method of learning to dance which can be applied to many forms of physical training. The  eventual outcome is experiencing a freedom of movement, an exhilarating ease of flight and inner joy while dancing.   It holds a strong scientific spirit and claims to be anatomically functionally based.  AS uses the analysis of anatomical and physiodynamic principles to improve the longevity of a dancer.  It strives to make DANCE accessible to all in a playground of discovery and adventure.  AS is dedicated to resist stagnation and promotes a democratic class participation where all are encouraged to follow their own learning curve while minimizing, adapting or adding to the given material. A thriving desire of the AS is to incorporate all levels of experience and supports an ongoing dialogue and investigation between all participants.
