WATER CONTACT DANCE

3-hour introduction in a warm pool

Discover how much more your body can do in water than simply swim.

Water Contact Dance offers a kind of pleasure that is difficult to find anywhere else:

— moving freely in all directions
— the silence underwater
— warm water around your whole body
— moving without needing to make it look beautiful
— enjoying physical contact without a sexual context
— being supported by the water
— deeply relaxing while other people are around

We dance underwater without music or choreography, listening to our own breath and feeling movement through the whole body.

YOUR BODY IN WATER

We will begin with the foundations that make free movement in water possible: breath, buoyancy and orientation.

Through simple practices, you will feel how your body behaves in water and explore movement beyond the familiar patterns of swimming.

We will gradually move above and below the surface and learn how to use the support of water with less muscular effort. You don’t need to know how to make it look beautiful. The starting point is simply noticing what feels interesting and pleasurable to your body.

WATER CONTACT

We will bring this awareness into movement with other people and explore how to stay connected to the sensations of your own body while moving together with someone else.

Water changes what becomes possible between us. Because it carries part of our weight, we can give and receive support differently and find shared movements that would be difficult to experience on land.

The contact in this practice is non-sexual. There is no need to perform, we can simply experience the pleasure of touch and moving together.

WHY WARM WATER?

The pool is 33–35°C and reserved exclusively for our group.

Warm water helps the nervous system slow down and move towards deeper rest and recovery.

There is something very special about relaxing deeply while other people are around. Letting the body soften and rest while remaining in connection can be a very different experience from relaxing alone.

NO PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE NEEDED

You don’t need previous experience with dance or swimming, and you can always step on uor feet.

We start with simple explorations and gradually introduce underwater movement. Nose clips are provided.

Curiosity about what your body might discover in water is enough.

The group is intentionally small.
