IN a space of vertically, supported by buoyancy, the body finds new possibilities for spiraling, floating, and movement, stillness and connection. Through guided explorations and open improvisation, we follow sensation and curiosity, discovering how water changes our relationship with gravity, ourselves, and one another.<\/p>\n<p>We begin with simple practices that build comfort and awareness, gradually opening into shared dances of giving and receiving support. You might move independently, explore gentle contact with a partner, or join a shifting constellation of bodies. Everything is invitational, with space to rest, stay at the surface, or explore submersion when appropriate. No dance experience is needed, just a willingness to listen, experiment, and let the water become part of the dance.<\/p>\n<h1>\n\t\t\tWarm Water Temple Pool, East Oakland CA\t<\/h1>\n\t<p><strong>Intro to Aquatic Dance: Tues.
